8 Days post op Bilateral and I still have some swelling. It goes
away after I lie down but comes back when I am on my feet. Dr
Schmalzried did not have me wear anything and I am 44 year old male
in good shape, that sweling seems like it will be short lived
I am excited about the hips but it is strange to walk on the new ASR
hips - feel like the bionic man - I suppose that is to be expected -
I was able to extend the time on my stationary bike and feel I need
to get my heart pumping a bit to get that circulation going
Went into the office for a little while today and my internal systems
seems to be working better, still a little sweats at night trying to
kick all those drugs, off the pain killers since 3 days or so and am
looking forward to a real good nights sleep. Sick of crutches and
don't really need them, drove today
My buddies cringe when they see the two gnarly gashes,,
Thanks all for their input
