Well I finally got a total hip replacement on Dec. 2nd and I am not 100% yet but it's only been 8 days. I came home using a walker and graduated to a cane today. It's a weird kind of pain, almost like a giant Charlie Horse :o The Oxycodone helps but it can plug you up if you don't take precautions ??? The 2nd day home I ventured to the wood pile with the walker, Mongo was worried and it showed 8)

The physical Therapist has been coming to my house since last Thursday and my progress has led me to a cane today :)

Our house has 3 stairs to get to the front door, 3 stairs to go into the living room and 15 stairs to our bedroom :-\ It's been a challenge but it will be worth it soon. I tried to drive my Jeep today and it was hard to get in and out ( No Oxycodone while driving ! ) Tomorrow I will drive my truck ( Bad Pig has more leg room )
I hope Mongo cheers up soon :(

I should be back to my 2 mike hikes every day in no time, I have lost 50 Lbs. Since March just by walking and eating healthier 8) My shoulders need attention too but not as bad as Tom's so I hope all I need is just a few bone spurs cleaned up ;) Stay safe out there and stay healthy to ring in the new year 8)

Damn, I hope that heals and you are back in action soon! I have to admit, that's pretty impressive to be walking around so soon after the hip replacement. Pretty crazy where we are with medicine/healthcare these days. I'm coming up soon for my surgery. Hopefully I bounce back as quickly as you! I'm already looking forward to the codone! lol

Good luck with the recovery!
