Will I Ever Recover? – Everyone heals from total hip replacement surgery at a different rate depending on your age, the condition of your hip, and a myriad of other factors. Most patients will be restricted to using a walker or crutches for at least one month after your operation. Most patients will graduate to using a cane when outdoors when walking without assistive support while in your home. Total recovery varies, but usually takes at least three months.

I also discuss:

• My First Purchase Was Spouse Insurance
• How To Accessorize Your Crutches
• Three Criteria To Meet Before You Drive

…and another 19+ helpful topics in the full version of my book: My Hip Replacement Surgery: What To Expect: 400+ ‘Hip Tips,’ Ideas, Examples, Suggestions and Checklists.
