remind me hipster - is that 6 or 12 weeks before he can sit with his knees parallel to the ground, or sleep without a pillow between his legs, etc, etc...

Six weeks.
His will be speedier than mine, because I had TOTAL replacement.
Couldn't even bend over for six weeks.....slow going for sure.

Hip, my dad's total hip replacement recovery is about 90% now, he's getting around with a cane a bit, but mostly recovered.
My mom went in for her resurfacing this morning. Recovering well as I heard.

Put the muscle back over everything to hold it in place, and that's the long rehab I went through.

I was off work for six weeks after the surgery.
The first two weeks are really tough....can't move a whole lot, yet the rehab therapist comes over and starts forcing you do to all kinds of fun stuff.
But I went from needing a high-chair seat on the toilet to riding a century in just over six hours!

Sweet Hip, now you guys will be buddies. You can call him up and stuff. If he likes you enough he'll be your agent and get you onto a pro team. Then you won't need to worry about your winter rig, it'll be supplied to you.

hip, i thought what he had was a degenerative condition. which makes me think that scraping and smoothing wouldn't fix the problem; the ball of the femur will continue to atrophy. obviously i'm messing this up, so where is my mistake?
btw, i've been in milwaukee 5-6 times this year on business, and i've seen nothing but rain. you really wanna loosen up that hip, get outa there

Ive been thinking about it, and if floyd trains his ass off over his ban(which he will no doubt) when he comes back after 4 years he could still have enough life in him to win grand tours. If the hip is as god as the doctors anyway.

Landis had "avascular necrosis" which is a reduction, or loss of, blood flow to the hip. This was a result of trauma to the hip. Actually he broke it. As a result of reduced blood flow, the bone in the joint was unable to regenerate.
Avascular necrosis has several causes. Loss of blood supply to the bone can be caused by an injury (trauma-related avascular necrosis or joint dislocation) or by certain risk factors (nontraumatic avascular necrosis), such as some medications (steroids), blood coagulation disorders, or excessive alcohol use. Increased pressure within the bone also is associated with avascular necrosis. The pressure within the bone causes the blood vessels to narrow, making it hard for the vessels to deliver enough blood to the bone cells.

Now, when's he up for the brain surgery?
