DM had a hip replace last Wednesday. She is a young early 70s, healthy and active, her hip was her only issue.
It has only been a week so I know we are only at the very beginning and there is a long road of healing ahead but I have a niggling worry that I can't shake. DM is feeling incredibly low, she's still very tired and groggy and in a lot of discomfort. She just seems like a different person than before she went in for the operation and I have read a few threads where people have said their parent wasn't the same after the procedure and it changed them.
I know I am worrying prematurely but does anyone have any advice on how the healing process was for their DM/DF? Thank you.
