re: Anyone have experience with getting a hip replacement?

My 88 y/o mom recently had a partial hip replacement (ball portion) after a fall. She spent 2 days in the hospital then a week in a rehab facility. Once home she had physical therapy twice a week. Within a month she was able to get around with her walker, which she used before the fall. It took about another month for her to regain all of her strength.

I was worried she may be in a wheelchair the rest of her life when it happened but she back to her old self. At 57 your mil should do well.
