Another shiny new piece of,,,,

[Wrench]

titanium! Got my new hip on Monday, the 13th. Still pretty weak in the right leg, but getting better every day. The doc did this one a little bit different than the left one, only one 10" incision down the outside of my leg, and it looks like my Speedo days are over. There was a lot less deep muscle to cut, which has given me more strength initially. I get the staples out, all 31 of them, on Nov 3rd. Hopefully a test throwover with the bike won't be too far off. He said he wanted me to wait 6 weeks before attempting a ride, so I'm hoping for a nice, warm Thanksgiving.

Glad to hear it worked out good for you. Do everything they tell you.

Yep, doing my therapy like a good patient. Moved up from the walker to a cane over the weekend, that's sooo much better. Can't wait to get these staples out, they're itching me like crazy.

I have a few relatives with new Titanium.

 

Do what the doc says and it will be good.

 

Best of luck on your recovery.
