Hip Replacement and RV'ing

My DW has had two hip replacements, the first about four years ago on her right hip using the conventional or older method of surgery from the back side, that replacement has caused problems and pain once in awhile since then. The left hip was replaced at a different hospital where the surgeon used the modern anterior method of operating from the front, she was moving about three days after the surgery and has had no problems whatsoever. So your recovery and ability to RV again in a short while depends on the surgery method and sticking with the therapy program, only go to a orthropedic surgeon who is up-to-date on methods and the actual prothesis used.
