Paul. I had my hip done 10 years ago. It was a several days in the hospital, and slow recovery. My brother had his hip done just about a year ago. It was pretty much outpatient surgery. He went home the same day as the surgery! He was ordered to use a walker for a few days, and then a cane. He was walking his dog within the week, and driving a manual transmission car within a few weeks.
So the surgery has improved a lot.
And no doubt the dumbest thing I have done in my life was put off the hip replacement for as long as I did. 10 years of pain free walking. The only time I really think about it is stepping out of the shower, and I see my cool scar. I can't get chicks with my cool scar, as I have to drop my pants to show them, and for some reason they run away screaming as I moon them.
