This was my 2nd hip replacement, The first one about 5 years ago was hell, 3 weeks in the hospital and 7 weeks in rehab. This time the incision is about 10 inchs compared to 2 feet the last time.. Today I took my first steps and what a dxifference compaired to my first replacement. I hope to be home in 3 weeks maybe even sooner

Wow, that's a big difference in incision and rehab time.
Glad it's going well.
I'm such a chicken, I need both my knees done.

Good Luck Frank. Good wishes and prayers that you get well soon so you can get back to the hustle.

I had knee replacement in December. I actually got to like PT because I was working and surpassing the requirements for the day. Frank, with the second hip now done, it only gets better. And if you have nurses like I did, you will be happy to be out of the hospital.

Feel better Frank. I died three times in November and was out and home 5 days later, I can't imagine being in the hospital and rehab that long. Good luck! Spence

Keep up the good work Frank!

Spence, glad you made it!

If this keeps up, we'll need a new board for medical progress!

11 days since the surgery, Still in a lot of pain but doing 100 times better at the same time of the first surgery. BTW This place is an amazing rehab facility. It is a restored mansion I may never want to leave here and my wife thinks it is a good idea to stay here as well.
