[QUOTE="The Brown Shadow, post: 1513471, member: 54052"] My experience was a little different: Was in hospital for 1 night. I slept in a recliner for 2 weeks then moved to bed--must sleep on back though with pillow between legs (different restrictions depending on how surgery is performed). Sleeping was tough as I would wake up every 2-3 hours and sometimes had to walk around to make stiffness/pain go away. Was sleeping semi normally after about 4-5 weeks. I started physical therapy 1 week after surgery and did 3 times a week for 5 weeks straight. Was on 2 crutches for about a week and 1 crutch for another week. After that I would walk a little gimpy with out assistance, but got a semi-normal walk 3-4 weeks out. Went back to work after 7 weeks but have a little pain in the thigh at times, but it isn't too bad. I am only 165 lbs though so a bigger man may need more time off as more weight=more stress on the hip imo. [/QUOTE]
