    I hope everything goes smoothly and that you heal quickly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HofoK_QQxGc While they're in there, maybe they could add some cool wood-turning enhancements--like a retractable tool rest that comes out your belly button.

    Good luck from a fellow bionic man. Knee for me. Physical therapy is very important to the recovery time. It's not fun but just do it. You will be glad you did.

    Hope all goes well with the surgery, and recovery will be quick and complete. Keep in touch.

  5. Best wishes Mr Hippy! I agree with John Davey....listen to the physical therapist and do everything they say. My hip replacement recovery went very well because I followed the Dr's orders.

    Up and walking the same day? You've gotta be kidding me. You really need to milk these surgeries for all they're worth. Seems to me that you should be able to watch movies and be waited on hand and foot for at lest a week!

    I hope that all goes well, and we'll be praying for a speedy recovery!

    Reed,

    I am a little late seeing this as well. I just had my hip replaced 10 weeks ago. What a difference... I had surgery late afternoon on a Monday, on my feet walking Tuesday morning, went home on Friday, in the shop on crutches Sunday. I can not imagine having both hips done at the same time...

    I wish you well.

    Best of luck to you.

    Best of luck to you Reed. Here's hoping you're back into the shop and turning in record time.

    Reed,
    Take it from someone who has had both hips done, but not at the same time, you will do great, especially since you have good muscle tone in your legs. The best part of hip replaceement is that immediately after surgery you will notice there is only surgical pain, because hip replacement almost always take away the joint pain accociated with joint disease. Five and a half weeks after my first hip replacement, I was riding ATV's on the beach in Puerto Vallarta. Go for it, Reed......and remember to do all the exercises they give you, it will lesson the recovery time.
