Thanks very much Billye, i am trying my hardest to do as much moving around as i can but still playing on the safe side, i don't want to over do anything.
many thanks
Brian

Brian,

My husband is also a "determined little bugger" and had a total hip done 2 years ago. He thought he could really move with those crutches and FELL at home, 15 days post op. Then he was in big trouble because the hardware from the new hip was forced down and fractured the femur. The rest is a long story I won't bore you with so please just be careful at home - ok?

Take care! Glad you are doing so well,
Nancy-H

Hi Nancy & thankyou.
I know a little of a similar long story, as the fellow directly accross from me in hospital had his femur bone fractured whilst having revision surgery, they had his leg in traction and was unable to move anywere from his bed, 3 weeks he had already been laying there with another 3 weeks to go for the fracture to heal before finishing his replacement protheses.
Since my leg swelled up i have been taking it very carefully, i still do some walking but no were near the amount i was doing, the very last thing i want, is to go back in hospital again.
take care
Brian

Hi Brian,

so good to read that you are, or soon will be, back home and making such a good recovery.

Thanks Lupin, i am at home now thank god, only had to stay 5 days post op in hospital, apparently that's the minimum amount of days before they will let you out after a total hip replacement.
all the best,
Brian
