12 Days since hip replacement surgery

and the foot on my operated side, is still swollen and uncomfortable. My new hip is also very tight, hopefully that will ease as the post surgery trauma subsides.
One good thing is that the excruciating bone on bone pain of my old hip has gone, and has been replaced with more of a dull ache inside the hip and thigh, I say a good thing, because this new pain seems to be controlled with less drugs.
I have been exercising everyday, mainly walking, but also gentle leg swings, and knee lifts.
I am determined to be able to travel to Italy in October, for a long anticipated project.
