Total Hip Replacement - 6 Week Checkup

Dr. Yuen did the 6 week checkup after total left hip replacement.  With total credit to physical therapy, we walked - unaided - into the office for our appointment.  Bernie Soriano, our PT, has advised the exercises should continue to be done 7 days a week for a minimum of 6 months.  Afterward it will be important to continue having an active lifestyle.  Will do.
