Coming back after hip replacement - a couple questions

I'll be starting again next week after seven weeks off after my major hip replacement. My healing is much longer than usual - it was a complex surgery since I was born with arthritis hips. What can I expect? I have a feeling flip turns are out. Will I be able I use my fins? Do breaststroke and fly? I plan on cutting the workouts our coach puts up in half and seeing how that goes. Anything else I should know?

  • How long has it taken to get your energy back. My wife had her hip replaced 3 1/2 weeks ago. Mobility wise we both think she is doing great. She walks with a cane for balance support only. She says she is running out of energy in the early afternoon and is frustrated by that. She wanted me to ask if that is normal and when to expect energy to get better.
