Once you have been shown how to protect your hip, you will learn the skills needed to return to normal life. You'll be taught how to walk, sit, and dress.

Here is what to expect in the hospital after a total hip replacement.

The hip joint is one of the body’s largest weight-bearing joints. A healthy hip joint allows you to walk, squat, and turn without pain. But when a hip joint is damaged, it is likely to hurt when you move.

After shoulder replacement, you may have more strength and movement in your shoulder and arm and be able to return to many of the activities you enjoy - like golf, swimming, bowling, and gardening.

To get the most from your new shoulder, you need to take an active role in your recovery.

During your hospital stay, your healthcare team works to control your pain, get you up and walking, and start you on an exercise program to gently move and strengthen your new shoulder.

A brain aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the wall of the brain artery. If it tears and bleeds, nearby cells can be damaged.

The brain controls the entire body, from regulating breathing and blood pressure to enabling you to move and speak.

Exercising is the only way to regain your strength and range of motion. With continued exercise, you may gain more strength and range of motion than you had before surgery.

You and your care team will evaluate how well you can care for yourself at home. You may need friends, family, or a home health aide to help with chores and errands.
