That old phrase - 'It all depends....'
I had mine done 12 years ago, and the operation etc has changed since then, so can't really comment.
Do you need to drive?

Just a little advice please from those who have had hip replacements. I took on a temporary job and they want me to stay a little while longer but I'm due to have a hip replacement soon. I could easily do the job from home so I was thinking of saying that I will need 3 weeks sick leave and expect to be available to work from home for the next few weeks after that. Does that sound realistic to people who have been through it?
