I just had my 6 week follow-up appointment. I had a BHR on 12/17/13, done by Dr. Brooks at Euclid. Everything is going extremely well, and Phil said my walking gait is excellent. I was totally compliant with using two crutches (75% weight bearing) for the whole 6 weeks (well, except when I had to carry something at home or work, when I would use one crutch). I had a 5-10 minute walk from car to desk just now, and it's clear that fatigue is already setting in, yielding a limp. The abduction exercise will take care of that.
I had a fairly uneventful 6 weeks post-op. The lower leg compression contraption was very annoying, but important, so I wore it. It was great to lose that. I returned to work at Day 20 (desk job), which was a bit of a stretch, but manageable.
The one thing that helped me make a lot of progress was getting a cheap (<$200) recumbent stationary bike at about Day 16. That improved my range of motion and overall comfort. I'm looking forward to getting on a real bike this summer.
