Good morning Lincoln.

I hope you will continue to get stronger from your recent surgery. I also can’t praise the Blue X clinic enough. I’ve had two successful spinal surgeries under the neurosurgeon, Michael Spirou who I would recommend.

Keep practicing, hopefully you will soon be able to walk without the Zimmer frame! :D

Just one thing Lincoln it depends on the type of full hip replacement to how long you are in hospital, a full joint is like a broken leg bone, and takes several weeks in hospital as mine did, our good friend just had the fit type and cement and was out of bed in a few days, I could not put any weight on my replacement for 7 weeks I was told it was a better idea no cement at the age I was at then....OK though as it was just a push fit joint...no cement! Had mine replaced in the Iasis that was 12 years ago.

Good luck and I hope at least you are now pain free.

As was mine Lincoln, but I was told because it was cement free do not to put any weight on the joint for eight weeks or more.
