Update. Things are going well, we saw the doctor a few days ago and everything is going even better than expected. Initially we were told no weight on the hip for 4-6 weeks. Doc says some weight is okay now, with progression from a walker to a cane one week from now.
Pain is very minimal. Incision is healed to the point where no bandage is needed and submersion (baths) are okay now. This was good news, my wife loves her bath tub. We went to the store today to shop for groceries and she was able to pretty much use the cart as a walker.
We'll be going out tomorrow night for our anniversary and her daughter is taking her to Reno for a planned mother/daughter trip in a few more weeks. This doesn't worry me since the daughter has a master's degree in clinical nursing, so I know she will be safe and in good hands.
