I just need to know about rehab and however that person is doing right now after the surgery.
My father had a hip replacement about 6 years back. He was laid up for a few weeks but the rehab wasn't all too much or painful. After about 3-4 months he was good as new....no limp, walking aide or anything. He was in a ton of pain after the surgery itself but the pain meds did the trick for the most part.
Good luck cooch we are all praying for you to pull through
Heard the doctors talking about A-Rod's hip replacement. Nothing like rehab 7 recovery from knee surgery. Well wishes whether its you or someone else
Its not me and thanks for your well wishes.Means a lot to me.
My mother had a knee replacement a year and a half ago and it took a while to be getting around, but it was awesome. Hip replacement, I'm not sure, but I think it's less recovery time than knee replacement. The only thing was that she developed blood clots so she has been on coumadin since.

There is a guy that had both knees replaced, came back, deadlifted like 800 lbs, there's a picture of him in Starting Strength 2nd edition,
so a replacement isn't an end-all if you have an Iron Will

He didn't have hip replacement. He just had hip surgery.
I know you need to do your rehab or it will lock up on you. My mother had hers done shortly before she passed away. She was too sick to rehab it and spent the last couple of months in pain and needing a wheel chair. I know another guy that is younger and really into biking. The surgery changed his life in a positive way. He has nothing but good things to say about it. Good luck to you and your family with this.

I knew a former Marine who got a knee replacement and is still one of the toughest dudes I've ever met
