GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR RETURNING HOME

In these past days or weeks, you experienced a period of anticipation : waiting to enter the hospital, to undergo surgery, to walk with your new joint, and to go home. Now you are beginning a period of readjustment. You are now sufficiently stable to return home. For the next six to eight weeks, your new hip will continue to heal. You must balance exercise periods and rest periods. Don’t try to overdo or push yourself beyond the limit of pain!
