Randolph S – One Week Post Surgery

It is a great feeling to be free of the pain in the right hip caused by osteoartritis. Anterior THP surgery on 07/14 went very smooth, used walker that pm. three therapy sessions at hospital, home on Wed, 07/16, follow up appointment with surgeon on 07/29. Minor discomfort on incision sight as it heals. No restrictions except fall protection. No problem dressing, tying
shoes, etc. Exercise daily concentrating on increasing walking distance in the neighborhood, core strength floor routines, and leg flexibility. Will ask doctor for clearance on swimming start up. Most of these exercises I did for 3 months pre-op and am glad that I did.
