One Week Post Op

There's definitely something to be said about a shower. It makes you feel human again. A solid week after surgery, I finally had my first shower. It was a game changer. My husband purchased a simple, basic stool like this one for me to sit on while getting in and out of the shower. It made it a lot easier for me to swing my leg in and out of the shower. 

Feeling like a new person 

Although the shower and getting ready took a lot of energy and wore me out, I was starting to feel a lot better. One week out, I was just finishing up my prescription pain killers, and transitioning to Tylenol only. I was also moving around pretty well and getting used to my crutches. Every now and then I would experience a "catching" sensation in the hip, and it would be very sore for a little while.
