That dude didn’t walk 9 miles v😂 more like 9 minutes

Thank you Gary for this honest down to earth video.I am at day 11 and find myself mirroring your experience. Phew! I thought there was something wrong with me! (My wife says there is!!)😂😂 Thanks from Bonnie Scotland.

I’m 12 days after operation in the uk, I took a few steps unaided yesterday and getting stronger everyday. I’m 46

very nice video thanks for sharing

Hi Gary !! Your videos have been so helpful !! Were you on pain meds at your 12 weeks post op ? I am 10 weeks post op of my left knee replacement surgery .. I still have to take pain meds because of the pain ..

Is there anyone that makes a replcement reflector for that lamp?

Man dies and goes to hell, the devil says to him why do you look so happy when you are burning in hell, he replies l once had total knee replacement, compared to that this is paradise

when dry is this flexible or rigid?

I had to use the spacer on my Stihl Fs110r. The lil metal dust cover over the splines kept spinning under a load.

Thank you for sharing. I’m also just at three weeks and still in a lot of pain but trying to do the exercises. This is my second knee so I know I does get better. Eventually.

Did your hip hurt during recovery??

This is day 4 for me after surgery and the pain is incredible I still do the physical therapy but it's very painful.i am feeling like I am never going to be put on pain .I finally was able to put my foot flat on the ground with the therapist holding me up .I am proud of that .going to.rehab soon so I can have more therapy there .When does the pain stop ?😢

I had dynamic hip pin surgery 7 months ago. Whenever I put any kind of electronic device in my pocket i start getting a achy pain in my hip. Have you experienced this? I have a key chain with a tracker that I've always kept in my right pocket which unfortunately is where I had my surgery. Now I have to remember to keep my electronics in my left pocket.

5 years later, glad this came up in my feed. Almost makes me want to try and do a KZbin video. This morning is 5 days post op for me. Had my left hip replaced in June 2013, a little over 11 years ago. I don’t remember much of the rehab from back then, which is probably a good thing. I may have reconsidered it otherwise. Not a walk in the park and that’s with 100 faithful people praying for me. Headed to my first local PT appointment in a few hours. Had PT last Friday at the surgeons office in Frisco, TX where they showed me a few things. Been looking for a used massage table so I can do the exercises at home. Also need to buy a chair because we only have couches in the living room and they are all too low and my improvised method of stacking cushions is not the best plan. Hope everyone else in week one is doing as well or better. God bless you all and our country as the biggest day of our lives is likely going to happen tomorrow. Praying for results within 24 hours of the polls shutting down. USAF Veteran, Grandpa and husband to an amazing woman of God. Love my job working for a great defense contractor out of Houston.

I got my hip replacement last Thursday which makes it 6 days post op. I am a dance fitness instructor and personal trainer with 14 years of experience in the industry and I will tell anyone who is contemplating the surgery. Do not believe in miracles recovery stories and walking away from the hospital pain free. It’s a MAJOR surgery and you will be using a walker and the cain and you MUST do so for your best benefit. Your body and soul will need time to heal and you will. Gradually. Give yourself time and space to do so without rushing the process and take it one small step at a time. Wishing everyone full timely and mindful recovery ❤

Ty, my fs110 has chewed oem Stihl 25-2 inside spool twice in 24hrs. So I got plenty Speed 450

Where do you get the trailer grate I need to beef my grate up as well

I just had my left hip replacement surgery done 4 weeks ago, had the anterior approach with the robot, surgery was only one hour, I went home the same day was able to climb the stairs and walk with a walker for two weeks, then the cane, was able to drive within two weeks, go to physio once a week, started working from home by the second week, I am doing very well for 64 year old female lol and it’s only been 4 weeks, still a little swelling and muscle soreness, plus my right hip is bad as well so will need that done next and I have a back injury and fibromyalgia on top of it all, so I’m a mess lol but I’m extremely surprised how well I’m doing and no left hip pain anymore, I recommend that anyone getting this done, get the anterior approach and Mako robot if possible or look for a surgeon who offers that surgery as it’s a game changer, as I can’t believe how well I’m doing after 4 weeks…. And yes I’m on pain meds, was before the surgery due to all my injuries and issues I have…. So that helps as well, as my pain was kept very low but the first week is always the hardest with any surgery…

Thanks for your video. Im 19 days in. My progress is much the same as yours the first week. I wondered why I'd had it done with the pain I was in. Ankel swells as soon as I sit for over 30 minutes. I think i pushed took quickly after people telling me they had no pain after the operation,lucky them. Im now going at my own pain especially if I need to lie down. I'm in uk & no physio after op just a leaflet with exercises. Next week going to private physio to see if they can help. Best wishes for your recovery 😊

Great account well done 👏👏

Hello from Canada. I will have mine done on Nov. 08.

Totally relate to the up and down stairs one foot at a time.

Thanks for making these videos. You’re helping me through my TKA. I’m at four weeks and so glad I found your videos.

Thanks for your video. There are so many that show people walking without assistances at four weeks and I’m still in pain and so stiff. I have been doing everything PT tells me but it is getting better slowly.

What was the board called?

Thank you for your advice I'm in day 8 and I'm in a lot of pain still

Excellent and helpful video. Thank you.

just had 2nd done and the pain does not stop, night time is the worst time just can't sleep, good luck to all

Know what you mean by knee movement, I’m at 8 weeks sometimes get collapse when walking.

Had two Kids which took 72 and 48 hrs and that is a walk in the park compared to this anterior hip replacement. Crying while watching so glad you posted since it’s been two weeks and heard all the others saying they were climbing Mt Everest the next day. 64 and yes worked out 4 days a week and worked full time so sitting is depressing as well.

Omg, now I'm terrified, I don't have great teeth is this a problem? He didn't even mention it😢...surgery scheduled in 4 months

I'm getting THR Feb 2025, I'm already on pain meds, what kind where you on?

build a sweet handrail on those stairs bro. Stepping down is the biggest hazard to older people like you and me!

Thanks for your videos !! How many times do you do therapy/Exercise a day at home ?

just had 2nd knee done, the first two days were brutal. could not sleep, thank god during the day i was able to do work time would fly by, actually went to PT but told staff I could not do anything, they understood, TKR if you can afford is a must do thing, i put it off like a fool for to long, they say it takes maybe two years to feel normal. good luck to all that are getting it done

Are we talking about hip recovery or knees or shoulders I'm confused 🤔

It must have been nice staying overnight after the surgery. I was sent home a couple hours after waking up.

At last someone is telling the truth 😮

So basically, if a criminal disables the Internet at my house. Nothing that ring can do for me will help. You just made it easy ring for people that know the ring system, which is very simple and basic around you and still get away with stealing my things.

I’m a 72 yr old female. Always something of a workout junkie….I needed to hear this video. My Dr said “you’ll do great, you’re strong and fit, you’ll walk out of here”…..I found that a little hard to believe and your video confirms that I’d better be prepared and not assume….thanks.

Hello Gary, my father is having his left hip replacement surgery on Friday and he lives alone. I’ll be flying home to look after him but only for 5 days. His house has steps everywhere, driveway to front door, garage into house, steps into the kitchen and a flight of stairs to his bedroom. I was going to keep him in my hotel for the first 2 days for a quiet environment and that is step/stairs free and then take him home and stay with him there and get him acclimated. I plan to have a hospital bed delivered to stay on the first floor for a week or so. I’m wondering if I should forego the hotel stay and take him directly home to avoid getting him in/out of a car a few times? Thoughts? In terms of supplies, what do you recommend? I sent him a robe, Velcro pants, a leg lifter, a grabber to pick up things, some pillows, ice packs, toilet risers. Anything else in terms of personal care, clothing etc that would make life a little easier? Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Im having my R hip done Oct 7 , 2024. And nervous!! Smyrna TN? I lived there years ago , 89/90 lol. Im from MI, Are you a blacksmith??

Had my left hip done 7 days ago just had my dressing changed no staples just dissolving stitches ,hardly any bruising,just been out in my car driving it’s great just to get some messages, I went for a short walk 2 days after surgery,my both legs are swollen as are my feet ,but I feel great,everyone is different,I’m 65 yrs young ,take care everybody 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍❤️

Thank you so much I’m just feeling very emotional at the min thanks for the support xx
