My mom had her right hip and later her right knee replaced when she was over 90. She started the PT in the hospital after within a couple of days if I remember correctly. You're right about the hip replacement being easier to recover from than the knee. I concur with the others here who said that the PT is essential to a quicker recovery. Don't overdue it, but don't slack off. All should go well. I've heard that hip replacement is one of the least dangerous surgeries.
