Randy,
Wish you a speedy recovery. Just had one replaced in July and much better now.
My advice from my experience only is,
1. don't rush recovery
2. do your physical therapy as prescribed
3. do what the Doctor says you can and don't do what they say you cant, it sounds simple but some of it will be hard to obey.
4. STAY ACTIVE and MOVE around Ice is your friend
5. set up a nice bed about mid-thigh height where there are no stairs between you and it, same for bathroom and shower location.
Enjoy a future with no more hip pain.
Happy Holiday's
