I got home at 12.30 on Sunday (8th. November). Sitting or standing still produces no pain whatsoever, walking produces a slight "tug" feeling in the wound area, as you might expect!
I'm using one stick and climbing stairs and getting around fine - which I find amazing. For those interested, a picture of the overall area is on-line, but I didn't feel it appropriate to just include it in this post.
If you want a look, click here. Don't feel obliged!
Thanks once again for the good wishes and encouragement. I'll probably get the other hip replaced at the end of January.

It's good news that you are making it around. I took the plunge and viewed the photo. Thanks for cropping it.
.
any way to get some sun on those legs while you are recovering? I heard vitamin ( yes a vitt-a-men in stead of a vytamin) D is great for recovery and recouperation...
Just found out about your operation.
Glad to hear all is well.
In a few years I will be needing knees.
I just got my last of three injections into my knees today.
It's some lube they make out of a Rooster's Comb.
Oddly, I now have a craving for dried cracked corn.
We are all lucky to live at a time when these things can be replaced.
Come to think of it, does anyone else see the profile of Columbus on Ray's ass? The pic I have isn't really a profile, but I see an incredible resemblance.
The final dressing came off yesterday, all bruising now gone and I've abandoned my stick totally when indoors. I still take a stick with me when outside, just in case I get tired on my daily ½ mile walks.
No pain killers at all now and everyone is mightily pleased with the healing of the operation site, given that only 15 days have elspsed.
I've attached a picture here to show progress and I promise that it's nowhere near as grim as the first one was!
