Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 My longer than I expected recovery got me curious. Has anyone had both hips replaced at different times with the same surgeon and same type of appliance and had vastly different recovery experiences.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I wouldn't say VASTLY different experiences, but definitely not identical recoveries. Could you be more specific in what you are curious about?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I was thinking of an after the fact experiment. I know some people recover faster than others. I figured my question might give me an idea of how a surgeons technique might matter, but I now realize that even with one person there could be many other factors. I am almost a 7 weeks. I can walk without a cane, but I don't feel like walking far. I have a slight limp and my operated leg feels longer than my other leg - but not as pronounced as few weeks ago. I got the ok from the doc to take a 5 hour flight, so I guess I am doing pretty good. BTW - does anyone know if other states will honor my temporary handicapped sticker? Good luck and good limping On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 7:22 PM, iamflustered insocal < iamflusteredinsocal@...> wrote: > I wouldn't say VASTLY different experiences, but definitely not > identical recoveries. > Could you be more specific in what you are curious about? > > > > From: Kollin <jkollin@... <jkollin%40gmail.com>> > Subject: THR - Curious > To: Joint Replacement <Joint Replacement%40groups.co\ m> > Date: Saturday, September 20, 2008, 2:27 PM > > My longer than I expected recovery got me curious. > > Has anyone had both hips replaced at different times with the same surgeon > and same type of appliance and had vastly different recovery experiences. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 , Off hand I would say they should. I have a full time placard and have used it in other states with no problem. Mind you, I did not ask a policeman if I could I just took it with me and placed on the mirror of the rental car. I would think just go about your business and don't worry about it.
