First off my surgery was result of hip fracture following fall, not degenerative. Stability fine after 4 months but still walked slow with a little side-to-side hip motion.
I walked out of the hospital very slowly after release with a cane, no walker or crutches with my 2-piece walking cane which I had brought with me.
As I noted on a previous post, after 2 moths I was able to climb the steps to a no-Jetway flight. Slowly but no need for wheelchair and truck lift onto the flight.
