Home from the hospital after hip surgery

Quick up date after 11 days : walking 1200 ft per day , doing 12 exercises with 10 reps each Twice per day , , mobility not that bad , walker based but i feel ready to move to cane or crutches . Visiting nurse said IDEAL patient, no need for home pt iam going well. Will meet with doc Monday to get surgical staples and crap removed and hopefully get. Cleared for hospital based PT ( for me it s social since i have been there for past 61/2 yrs doing gym workouts

Nothing stronger than Tylenol to manage pain , hopefully will get rid of home hospital bed and move back upstairs . The Queen of the Hop has been an angel , managing my recovery in terms of support , being my home pt coach and frankly i can never pay her back

Bottom line : each day a little better , i am pleased that i got this done and wouldnt hestate if the other one needed it

Thanks to all for the positivity it is much appreciated
Warp

We've had 3 "work" days so far (oh the fun we have there), and we'll be headin back in on Nov 20th and wont come out until the 30th. It's always my fav 10 days of the year. I wouldn't trade that trip to camp for any POW day anywhere on the planet!!! Not even kidding one bit.
it gets plenty stinky fer sure. dunno what the hell we smell like but it ain't human. maybe that's why we take the deer we do

Oooohhhweeee ill be lookin for dem reports and pics , enjoy your buds , chill out forget the damn workin world , drink ,eat be merry and dont forget to untie them poor bucks b4 ya chase em g

First post surgery Dr check  up : staples out , incision looks great , cleared for hospital based PT this week , can ditch home hospital bed and move back upstairs . Range of motion and endurance good , can go on cane now if i want .

Only knee swelling which is normal cellular fluid after a surgery so continue exercises and walking and will see him for xrays in a month , expect to be driving at that time since it is the RIght hip.   We are all pleased with progress , basic bone structure is strong , doc said i'll be skiing for sure

Cheers, warp! Own those stairs! You'll be walking right out of that cane in no time - I realized I'd reached a milestone when I kept leaving the damn thing places and losing it

I go back for my 6 month visit next month

Excellent!!
Now the fun begins.

Update 3 wks post surgery :
 Walked without cane or walker today for the first time
Great mobility with the cane , can dress myself now
Sleeping upstairs now in regular bed
Range of motion  improving ,can do squats similar to a half tuck position in skiing , legs wait lifts , leg lateral spreads walking over 2000 ft/day , able to o go for  car rides easily , getting into ,out of cars and up down stairs no problems

Stood unassistd to play my guitars for about an hr today , took breaks in a chair every several songs to rest ...feeling pumped !!

Still some swelling but leg and knee definition is really bouncing back ..stiffness is still only real issue but ROM exercises are helping.

Great news Warp

sounds like you'll be back for opening day!

Keep pushing through. I would think by mid to late December you will be on skis.

I see they have you doing inverted gravity-defying exercises. What's that apparatus they have you holding?

Roflmao DOC !!  

But strangely here on my IPAD the damn pic is fine on the forum , it is not inverted ......go figure .????

Prolly the same gremlin in Nabble that will NOT allow me to put an avatar pic in from my ipad or smartphone and still requires me to FN Log in damn near every time ........i know Harv is working on it
