Two Week Follow up
Posted , 6 users are following.
Update: Went for my two week....wound is closed and healing nicely. I've had two weeks of at home physical therapy and will now begin outpatient. Released to drive, only local and when necessary. Using a walker and my cane but only when someone is with me....I live alone! Feels so good to use the cane....stand so tall and minimal limp. Still on pain meds....but cut down on them. I'm a happy girl.....have another 8 weeks out of work...❤️❤️

I keep hearing about home physio ... do you get someone coming to your home? We get a booklet of exercises then 6 weekly sessions at the joint clinic - a very good PT though and she has given some extra sessions to help strengthen me for my next THR.
Keep up this progress - very impressive.
Cheers

Well done you !!! easy does it - good thinking using the cane or walker when with somebody - you can sort of keep the pace without going all over the place -
That is the difference between PT in USA and everywhere else, I think - I have lived in Los Angeles for 34 years and worked at Home Health Care office for a couple of years - When PT is ordered , PT comes to the home and works with patient - I live in Holland since June 2014 and had 2 THR - Expected PT session to be similar as in L.A.- not so ...
Great that you can drive too - So incredibly happy for you and your new found independence!
big warm hug
