I am feeling the fear already. The book they gave me says “Joint Camp” like it’s gonna be all fun and play? It’s gonna be PAINFUL. Who are they trying to kid? I sure hope I can manage stairs, they don’t let you go home till you can do them and I don’t want to stay any longer than necessary.
Is there a way for you to stay downstairs for a while at home? My friend had both done at once and she did really well with it. She is 2 years older than me and had it done right before Christmas. My MIL did one at a time.
they will have both PT and OT people come to help you get ready to go home. You won’t be in the hospital all that long. And i don’t know about insurance now with Obamacare, but i had PT coming to the house after the first hip, for the first few weeks, and then was switched to the outpatient PT. with the second hip, the home PT was very very short, maybe one visit, bc i was getting around so much better.
