3hrs from rt THR! A word of thanks to you all for sharing your lists, your journey, your tips & tricks. Such a great help in navigating the days of healing ahead. Really appreciate it.

LFG!

Good morning. 3 days until THR and curious if any one found compression stocking (thigh high or knee high) helpful during recovery. Does it really reduce swelling? I think it would be painful to put on. Thanks for your thoughts! ​

Hi all. Appreciate the wisdom in this thread so much. Question about 90° rule and post op ride home. I'm 5'3" & trying to figure out if i should plan to climb into/out of dodge truck (with running boards, step stool) or the shorter SUV​ (which I still have to hike my short leg up over the lip of bucket seat.) Even in the SUV my feet are off the ground before i can pivot. Trying to avoid the wrong decision ahead of time. Thanks for your thoughts

Hi all. 2 wks from surgery and trying to decide if I should spend the first few days/nights in recliner or in a bed. I've seen posts on both but not clear why I would choose one over the other. Would love to hear your thoughts please.
