The 90 degrees is what I am worried about. Do the math and rent a chair. You will thank me. Get a big fluffy one you will be sleeping in it.

After 6 weeks post hip replacement surgery, my doc said I could do anything past 90 degrees.
Crossing legs is a no no though. Never could or wanted to do that anyway. |

Nope. I've got this.
Wife and I have zero debt, and the Z06 loan will only be the 2nd note that we hold. I paid off her car a year ago (at $800 a month) and am taking that 800 and applying to the 1500 on my '21 Z51. House is the only other note, and has $400k equity. Z06 will also get an additional $200/month autopay to buy down the interest. We do NOT add new debt without serious consideration. Credit cards always paid off, and only 2 notes, that end up being about 40% of my take home...we're just fine. |

They make a big wheel kit for the walker. GET IT !!!!
Those little wheels will get caught on everything and the big wheels smooth out a LOT. Yes, I am completely serious. We did this for my MIL and it's a game changer. Here's an ebay link for reference. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...eel+kit+walker |

Get one of these. It was much better for my mom than a regular walker.

That walker above is a good idea for 2 reasons, If you're out and about, you have an instant seat. #2 is since the first hip is being done, the other side will need it sooner or later. You can probably find a walker cheaper at a goodwill or 2nd hand store or possible garage sale. |

I seem to recall that there were physical limitations that prevented you from getting the surgery earlier. Yes? My point is that I had my anterior hip surgery done and not having to use any canes or aids prior to surgery. Sounds like your condition is/was severe. My pain was bad but by your description nowhere near as bad as yours.
If so, I truly wish you the most positive outcome. I have mentioned it several times earlier that I was walking around a chili fest 2 days after surgery w/o any pain, canes or walkers. Best thing I have had done as far as several medical procedures including 2 shoulder surgeries. My hockey playing days came back to haunt me in my senior years. Once again, wishing you the most positive outcome! |

Screw buying a tricked out walker. That hip hurts like a mofo the last few months. Don't cave. Have a walker that works that you want to throw in the trash two days after the THR.
I knew in the evening of my afternoon THR that it was better because my leg didn't flinch when I put weight on it. Hallway and stair exercises in the evening and released in the morning. Walker first day and then crutches for a couple more. You're about the same age as my first and I'm fighting to keep the other. |

Be careful.. Don't go too fast with that thing
The tires are too little and you may lose traction doing fast corners. |
