I have had two, both easy.
The first one, after surgery when I was allowed to walk, they had to "stop me/slow me down" because it was such a joy to walk without pain again! I knew to expect that with the second surgery.
The raised toilet seat was a good thing. The walker was discarded in a few days, less than a week. Same for cane.
The surgical pain wasn't that bad, I never used all the pain pills provided, but was told ahead of time "if you hurt, on a scale of one to 10, don't downplay to 3 or under, always say at least 4 or up to get pain relief" because it's easier to keep pain at bay/stay on top of it than to bring it down.
I flew home on the third day after the first surgery. I took a taxi to an empty house after the second surgery. Stayed there alone for days, interviewing realtors to sell the house etc. Alone is doable, make sure you have easy to prepare meals ready to go. I was driving in about 10 days post surgery.
For a week after both surgeries I rested a lot, and the easiest thing to use was a zero gravity recliner, I'd recommend getting one. The outdoor kind are around $100 now. That's what I used. Your energy level will be low. Sleep alot.
BUT both times there were other people having a much harder time after surgery, first time guy next room never got out of bed while I was there, second time guy next door moaned and groaned loudly and complained nonstop the whole time I was there... so a lot depends on your pain tolerance etc.
Oh, and be real nice to the nurses/orderlies, please and thank you and gratefulness gets you much better "service", they aren't your slaves. The moaner groaner guy was bad, I could hear him ordering them around like slaves, I'm quite sure he got less good care than I did because of his attitude.
I also had a broken(not torn) ACL repaired in my knee and THAT was much worse for pain after....
The first hip was traditional side incision, second one anterior. Not much difference for me. No limits, BUT that's because I had large ball replacements. The old style small ball replacements have permanent limits, DON'T DO THAT, large ball only.
Run away from any place still doing small ball!
