Hip Replacement
Hi,
I had a full hip replacement a week ago and am now recovering, using crutches. I hold a Class One medical ( temporarily suspended ). My consultant tells me I can't fly for 12 weeks, which is the average recovery time. So on that basis, the earliest I can return to work is mid March. Have any other pilots experienced the same procedure ? I am planning on a return to work late March or early April, I appreciate that everyone is different, in terms of getting well, but just wondering if that's realistic time scale and anything to avoid during those first few weeks on line. I am 62 years old, and have been flying professionaly for over 40 years.
Thank you.
