My wife (64) had hip replacement surgery 6.5 weeks ago and took her first post-surgery ride today -- 13.5 miles, with 700 feet of elevation gain. She says she's tired, but not sore.
Her surgeon used the anterior approach and she was out of the hospital about 30 hours after checking in. She ditched the walker after a few days and the cane 7-10 days after that. The surgeon has cleared her to do just about anything that doesn't overtire her, except for activities that pound or jar the legs, like running. We're going hiking next week (day hiking, not backpacking) and I can't wait.
