After the amount of pain I had Sunday night and the passing /pissing out Monday morning I was wondering if I had made the wrong choice. Since Tuesday the progress and drop in pain has been incredible from barely able to shuffle to doing a flight of stairs now without much fuss. Things will only get better.

That's what i'm looking forward to, getting my leg over easier and been able to get my feet on the rests without pain.
It's just 2 weeks now, the staples came out yesterday now just using a stick and went for a walk around the park today. Steadily. Happy with the progress.

Had both ops at approx. 7pm on a Thursday, and was eating lunch at home on the Saturday. The NHS care was fantastic and the surgical team brilliant on both occasions. Only ever use sticks. There was very little discomfort. When I discarded my last stick after 2 weeks, it felt great. The more I walked, the better it got. Now I can't tell the difference between my old hip joint and my new ceramic ones. I am back to as I was as a 20 year old, movement wise. Stick with it and as you have found out it gets better on a daily basis.

Exactly what procedure did you have done for you to be stick free after a fortnight.?
Tomb:
When I came out the discharge notes said I could walk without any sticks or crutches, I couldn't believe it but the staff confirmed the specialists notes. I came out with crutches and used them for two weeks. I had slight complications as I already had a femur full of metalwork and some of the screws for that had to be removed to allow the spike of the new hip to be inserted into the femur. My smashed leg had been 1" shorter than my good one for 30 years, I asked if the leg length could be restored on hip replacement (I wore a wedge in my boots) consequently all muscles, ligaments and tendons were two short which is still causing issues 3 years on but getting better. NHS - BRILLIANT!!!!
As everyone has said from experience, keep working it, it recovers much faster the more you do.

Today walking about the house stick free. Amazing the difference a day makes.
