Quite possibly. It is a good idea to exercise preop in any case if at all possible. Try the pocket physio app which was designed by some UK physios. It has both pretty and post op exercises. Swimming or hydrotherapy also might help

dear jean,

so sorry to hear this -

you are 9 months post-op from Right hip repladcement surgery and are scheduled to have your left hip replaced, right? 

do you have a date yet?

remember that your right hip/leg is still recovering from major surgery and also is supporting your bad left hip ... I remember that time in between the surgeries as very bad and challenging -

I am not sure what to tell you except to be kind to your self - do your best and stop when it hurts too much ... no need to torture your self - 

big warm hug

renee

oh jean, 

I know what you mean -- it is exciting and terrifying at the same time -

you want to get it over with but are dreading it, don't you ?  

but you know what ? You will have 2 brand new hips and healing can begin - 

keep in touch darling
