What Am I Allowed To Do 11 Wks After Half Hip Replacement To Be Able To Reach The Toes?
Eleven weeks after having a half hip replacement, what am I allowed to do to get to being able to reach my toes on the affected leg? I need to be able to put on socks and cut the toe nails. I am not sure how hard I can push the leg without doing damage. How do I submit this?
