Hi Dustin
I get your need to find someone our age to talk to, im 25 and had my left hip resurfaced in 2010 and my right hip last year. It feels quite lonely when everyone around you at your age see hip resurfacing/THR as something that happens when your old! This site is brilliant for helping you feel not so alone and realise that depsite this mis conception there are many people under 50 that have to go through this treatment to get an improved way of life
The advice I can give on your recovery is to take it easy definatley, I have had several hip surgeries prior to my resurfaces as I was diagnosed with Hip Dyplasia at 10. As Steve has advised keep on top of the pain killers as the pain is much better to manage when you dont let it get the better of you. The physiotherapists tend to know there stuff too, I always think if you stick to what they suggest and get things moving before you no it you'll be back on your feet.
My best peice of advise though, find a good TV series and a rake of books to keep you occupied! Enjoy the time you get to take a rest and dont push yourself too much. My family and friends always tell me That i try and run before i can walk quite literally because i get impatient! My last operation I watched Greys Anatomy back to back and read the whole Karin Slaughter Grant county series (amongst other stuff obviously!) but having something to do to keep your mind off feeling fed up and bored really helps me!
or if your into gaming, get a few new games to get into.
I've had some complications with mine, however this is rare and probablymore to do with my hip dysplasia. Overall, even though I am having problems with my right side still, the resurface on my left has improved my life brilliantly and this site shows a lot of postive outcomes and even helps if you do get any issues or concerns. Good luck with your recovery and remember to keep on top of the boredom!
