GC 2/2 and 2/5

This week I went to physical therapy. Hip replacements are used as a last ditch effort to relieve pain in the hip that is caused by severe arthrtis. The surgeon removes the arthrtic bone and replaces it with a metal joint. After hip replacement surgery, the patient will stay in the hospital for about a week, then they will begin going to physical therapy to regain strength and become more comfortable walking the day after surgery.
