I had 1 hip put in a couple years back. In two weeks I was walking in the creek deer hunting. Riding my quad the first week after surgery. Never took no therapy at all. My other hip is pretty bad now... probably someday it will have to be replaced... along with a bone on bone knee that is starting to bother. I used to be a man as tough as steel.... now I really am a man of steel. New knee, new hip, rods and cages and screws in the back, stents in a heart artery ... SS mesh and screws in both shoulders.....when does it end???

Good luck Dale.!!!!
