Techniques for getting in and out of bed etc.
Could there be some information made available giving techniques for getting in and out of bed after hip replacement surgery. And also the car. Knowing things like this can greatly help with recovery. And for after the six week milestone when the person feels ready getting in and out of the bath.

I use a plastic bag underneath my bum which has made it easier to get in and out of my bed, once in bed I gently move it ,using my non-operated leg, for safety. I also use it in the passenger seat of the car, removing once I've sat down, for safety.
