I have been walking short distances without the cane and today I did a short ride on my wife’s beach cruiser. The ride felt great , no problem pedaling even when accelerating. I am at almost 8 weeks. The pain starts to get much worse after about 4 hours of working. Tylenol or ibuprofen works . The three screws will probably stay as I can’t tell that they are there. I see the surgeon in another week . The (almost) 8 weeks of pain have tested me beyond my limits at times and my wife has been terrific at talking me down. I tried getting on my trainer , but no go. The bike is a standard road bike and swinging my leg or trying to step on felt unsafe. The beach cruiser is a step through Townie with Flat Foot design , perfect for my situation. I will continue to walk but over a mile I will take my cane , just in case. My surgeon tells me the pain from a hip repair is greater than that of replacement but I have nothing to compare what I’ve been through. I would not wish this on anyone.
