Convalescence You will remain in the hospital for 3 to 5 days after surgery. However, some people may need to stay temporarily at a rehabilitation unit or long-tern care center until mobility has improved and they are safely able to live independently. These centers will provide intensive physical therapy to assist you in regaining muscle strength and flexibility in the joint. Be careful after surgery that you don't dislocate the artificial hip. The new hip will not have the same range of movement of the original joint, although you should eventually be able to return to your previous level of activity. While you should avoid vigorous sports such skiing or contact sports, many people go on to play tennis and golf quite successfully. The use of crutches or a walker may be necessary for as long as 3 months, although most people who did not use them before are able to walk without them in several weeks. Many surgeons place their patients on blood thinners for several weeks after surgery to help prevent blood clots. These may be taken in the form of pills (either Coumadin or aspirin) or injections. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS The new joint has a limited range of movement. You will need to take special precautions to avoid displacing the joint, including: * Avoid crossing your legs or ankles even when sitting, standing, or lying. * When sitting, keep you feet about 6 inches apart. * When sitting, keep your knees below the level of your hips. Avoid chairs that are too low. You may sit on a pillow to keep your hips higher than your knees. * When getting up from a chair, slide toward the edge of the chair and then use your walker or crutches for support. * Avoid bending over at the waist. You may consider purchasing a long-handled shoehorn or a sock aid to help you put on and take off your shoes and socks without bending over. Also, an extension reacher or grabber may be helpful for picking up objects that are too low for you to reach. * When lying in bed, place a pillow between your legs to keep the joint in proper alignment. * A special pillow or splint may be used to keep the hip in correct alignment. * An elevated toilet seat may be necessary to keep the knees lower than the hips when sitting on the toilet. |

I am 34 and married for last two years. It is a negotiated marriage where my husband has son from his first wife. She had ditched him and left him and the son behind and fled for another man. After their marriage was nullified by the court, we got married which was negotiated by our families. We were happy all these years but suddenly my husband has contacted his first wife and sent the son to her. The child is now staying with her. My husband started undue relationships with her and told me that all was due to the welfare of the child. I have been treated very badly, even physically abused. I had left his residence and am staying with my father for last two months. Now he is repenting and promises me not to repeat his actions and not to hurt me anymore. However, the fact remains that the son will stay with his mother and he will communicate with them only for the welfare and educational and well being of the child. He promises not to jeopardise me ever. Now I am confused whether he can be consistent as he has been very inconsistent. What should I do ? |

If you mean he had sex with his ex then no man would do that for the sake of the child, no child would benefit from this. If you and your family want to save your marriage and you still love him give him one last chance but be clear that this is the last chance for him. You could even make it a condition that he doesn't see his ex wife alone only with friends or family present or meet in a public place. I know he must see her to arrange matters concerning the child. |

I have been a guarantor for some one to get a bedsit. This person has not paid any rent since October and I have had it to pay/. I can no longer afford this and have sent a letter in giving one months notice on being a guarantor. They have written back saying I cant do that I have to pay until march. I can not afford to pay anymore. |
| Question found in Legal Other |
|
| I am afraid if you are guarantor you are liable for any debts and rent as long as the rental agreement says. usually this is only done by a parent for a child so I hope you have a way to get your money back maybe through small claims court. Read your rental agreement that you signed to check you have to pay until march. |
