My hip replacement recovery is going amazingly well. I had terrible nausea and vomiting while in the hospital and sometimes the pain was way more than I expected. Yet, I am amazed I am able to walk upstairs and sleep in my own bed each night. There is no formal at-home therapy. I just follow on-line videos from the doctor and lots of walking is prescribed. There are precautions to prevent dislocating the hip until the muscles heal. The doctor told me he did break the femur because it was narrow at the top and he cut two of the glute muscles. But all will heal with time.
Home and Recuperation
Even on the day of surgery, the therapist got me out of bed and walking. The pics on the left (in collage) were taken just before surgery. A bit of anxious silliness 🙂

Prayers for a full and speedy recovery. You look extremely well. I don't think I could pull it off. 🙁
So glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery. I've been praying for you. I'm having an issue with one of my hips – not sure what it is but may be bursitis. Every time it hurts I pray for you!

I didn't know you had a hip replacement. So happy you are doing so well. Yes, I enjoy watching the birds and hummingbirds from my chair in the living room. It is so peaceful.
As always, I enjoy your blog so much and your photographs are great.
I place you in my prayers. Be sure and follow the Dr's orders. Pat

Oh, so glad you are doing so well and praying you continue to do well and are as good as new in no time.
I'm glad you're doing so well. Amazing you can go up and down stairs so often, but I know moving helps. Keep up the good work!
So glad to hear all went well! Take care, you'll be tap dancing in no time:@)
You are such a trouper, Lorraine! It is just wonderful that you are progressing so well…and that you are able to look so beautiful the whole time!
You look great!! Keep up with your prescribed exercises and remember that the more you move , the less stiff you will feel. I am a Rehab nurse so this is what i do… Sending prayers your way!

You are certainly a Star Patient! You are up and in your own bed – I can't even imagine the determination. Well done! I wish you continued and speedy recovery.
Amazing! Keep it up, you are doing great, and you look fabulous. Blessings!!
So glad you are doing really well. You look great! A friend at church just had this done about a month ago and he is doing really well too. May you continue to heal nicely and soon be doing all that you'd like to do once again.
How neat to know a young lady who is part of the Olympics. I hope she does well and that God's light will shine right out of her.
Have a lovely Sunday ~ FlowerLady
It's amazing how they can get you up and about so quickly these days. Wishing you a speedy recovery
