 Recovery shoes - Aretas
I had a hip replaced 7 weeks ago. For the first 6 weeks I was not allowed to bend at the hip more than 90 degrees, making putting socks and shoes on awkward. Get slip-ons and a shoe horn plus soft-top socks (HJ do them). You need 1 or 2 "grabbers" for when you drop things. Also useful for pulling trousers up!
If you are tall I recommend you raise your favourite chair by 2-3 inches before you go in. DIY ain't possible when you first get home.
Do the recommended exercises. I found an improvement every day, albeit very small.
Was not allowed to drive until I had seen the surgeon at 6 weeks.
I used to live on paracetamol. Not had any since op.
All the best.
