[I am still oxox]

THR right 22 days ago, moving around with walker, i am able to walk from the shower seat to the commode without walker or cane or assistance, but wearing grippy socks.

Hubby is pushing me he thinks it is helpful but its not.

I know I will recover and if its slow I am happy with that but I will recover

3 weeks pt from VNS and this week i will have an in home PT, I have a compromised immune system and want to keep my circle small

@I am still oxox I am sure that when it's you recovering.it seems to be slow, but it sounds to be as if you're close to or ahead of a friend of mine who fell the first week in September and had THR that week.   Hope the next 22 days satisfy both you and DH!

As they say, "Slow and steady wins the race".  I'm sure hubby means well.  Sending positive and healing thoughts your way!  🙂

Sometimes our recovery seem longer than it should because we are too impatient with ourselves.

If we are an independent individual our mindset may be our worse enemy due to the fact we want to be back to capable person we were.

Unfortunately you can not hurry the process. You can moan and groan to yourself but you can not change things. It is not a good pleasant feeling.

However onward you shall go. You will struggle till you win and win you will.

Baby steps all over again.

Take care. Smile, you are not back to where you began 22 days ago!

Everyone recovers differently after surgery.

I know DH may be trying to help by 'pushing you', but he needs to realize that only you and your PT therapists know how much you should push yourself in your particular situation.

Best wishes for your recovery, at YOUR pace.

@I am still oxox  Every day you make progress is one less day that you will have to deal with this.  Like they say, slow and steady wins the race.

Glad to see that you are making progress - be care to not fall or injure yourself, so take whatever time you need to keep moving ahead.

Take it one step at a time at your own pace.   Just make sure you do the exercises the PT recommends.   The important thing keep moving, slowly, at your own pace.  i'm almost  7 weeks post-op.  i have found sitting too long i get stiff.   i get up every half hour just to move around and do my exercises throughout the day. the ones PT gave me to do strengthen muscles in the leg and the glutes.

Best wishes for a smooth recovery going forward

I have been through more recoveries than I care to remember. Also, I have run road races, and driven race cars. As far as "slow and steady wins the race"? Now that depends on the type of race, and it's distance. Drag Racing that is only 1320 feet.The winner is the one that gets to the finish line 1st. Sometimes that is less than 4 seconds.

Recoveries from injuries or serious health issues, time for recovery should never be based on a time frame. Every single person is different in this respect. There are more factors involved in any type of recovery than I care to name.

A good Physical Therapist is generally the one that can judge his patient's progress better than anyone else involved. My suggestion for @I am still oxox is to go at the pace that is judged right for herself. My best wishes to her,

@LdyBugz   You are certainly right with your positive comment in your post.
