2wks plus 2days

Walked 1000m - took it reakl slow and it definately worked the leg. It feels like the operated one is a little shorter than then perhaps 5-10mm - when i see the surgeon Ill find out.

Sleeping without the burning /lactate buildup feeling.
The only thing about the walk is the pain from the other legs - the still arthritic one
The left one had now become the worst !yee haa

2 wks plus 1 day

Finally a good nights sleep without the "fatigue" pain in my thigh.
All good
Walked , with crutches 630m
Time to set some walking goals I guess and also for the return to my bike - may wait until after seeing the surgeon and might get a inside one.
Part of the reason for setting this upis that its differcult finding recovery info on the net and dont know what to expect without pushing myself too far.

2 weeks from surgery

Decided to record this for the next round ie. the other hip.  Im 54 yr of age living in New Zealand and have had bilateral arthritis -had the first one done on 9th April - spent 3 nights in hospital and then home.  The surgery was great - no drain or cathater or sticthes and have very little brusing at all.
Im walking with aid of cructhes and doing all physio exercises.  I can walk a short distance without crutches but am not wanting to push as my aim is for a complete and successful recovery so that I can get on my bike and tune my body up for the next one - which Im planning for August.  So that is 3 months away.

A bit sore in my outer leg - feels like a build up of lactic acid - but everything else is just fine.
I look forward to being able to walk - as towards the end of the thing it was not very pretty and no good be crumpy all the time.  Immediately since surgery I have had a far more positive attitude!!

Walked 450m with the add of crutches in the morning
