Nine weeks on a walker, with "Touch weight only" orders for me... My femur cracked when the hip was being installed, plus I needed a bone graph. Six more weeks on a cane after that. Five years out from the surgery now, and I'm back on the cane again, but it's because the knee below the hip is now needing replaced. Looking back through the clarity of time, it was likely the knee that caused the hip problems in the first place. It's alright though, my Mixte has a couple of places to mount my cane when I go out for a ride.
