Welcome from Mississippi and good luck. I've had my left hip replaced twice. My only advice is. Don't rush recovery and a Plus is water therapy. I don't mean to sound like a doctor but it takes time. Good luck.:thumb_up:

A Big Welcome to you from Georgia. So glad things are turning around for you. I m a retired Firefighter and a bi lateral hip replacement patient. I had my left hip replaced at age 40 in 96 and my right hip replaced in 01 at age 45. Still going strong, I just don't run anymore. You will do fine and as you are already familiar with rehab from your first surgery, you'll be familiar with all the do's and don'ts. You'll do well and will be out diving and swimming before you know it. By the time warm weather arrives you will be ready. Take Care, Welcome to the Tnet forum, and God's Speed.
