I’m at 3 weeks to the day and my current situation is not much
different than it was 1 week post op. I was in the Hospital a total
of 24 hours. I was off pain killers after 5 days and off ibuprofen
after one week (Therefore I began driving and running errands around
town). I did very little icing (very little swelling …. only on
the incision). After one week I walked two blocks to the coffee shop
in the snow (Minneapolis). I’m either on one crutch or a cane. I’m
self employed so I don’t have to leave the house or maintain a 8
hour/day job. My sleeping is only descent, because I like to sleep
on my side which creates some discomfort. The only issue I’ve had
since one week is the same one I have now. My hip is uncomfortable
when sitting on a chair without alot of padding. Thankfully, I’m not
tired at night now like I was during the first 10 days. Also, I’m a
very fit 48 year old.

That’s my case story …. I believe that I’m progressing much faster
than most.
My surgeon was Dr. Palmer in Stillwater Minnesota. He’s done over
500 resurfaces and I’m extremely happy with my decision to go with
him.

I’ve done very little PT. Though I have my post op exam tomorrow and
hope to get the green light on aqua therapy and other, more rigorous
exercises.
