I had my right hip resurfaced by Dr. Pritchett On January 19. If you haven't received it yet, you will shortly be receiving a packet from Susan (Dr. Pritchett's assistant/patient coordinator). The enclosed binder has a set of exercises you should do pre-surgery. There is also a list of suggested places to stay. The popular recommended choice is the Inn at Cherry Hill. If you want details of my experience with Dr. Pritchett, they can be found elsewhere on this site as well as on my site hipresurfacingwoman.com I'll be updating this shortly since I've reached the four month mark today.
Hard to say about hiking at 8-10 weeks. You'll be having a follow up appointment by that time, so you can always ask then. It also depends on what you mean by "hiking". If you mean a relatively short hike, 1-3 miles, on rolling, but not steep, terrain, then I would say "probably". If you mean an all day multi-mile hike with a huge elevation gain, then no. A couple of weeks ago I went to Sequoia and Yosemite NPs, and I walked over 5 1/2 miles at Sequoia one day, and then about 4 miles the next day at Yosemite. These were close to car walks, not Big Time hiking. This was not a problem at all. However, there are definitely some mountain hikes here in Washington I wouldn't try yet. I plan on building up to those!
I'm not a skier, so I can't answer that one.
