After his hip replacement procedure, Adam Sandler had to rely on a cane to get around. The actor was first spotted using a cane in early September and again throughout the month. In October 2022, Sandler was still using a cane for assistance but seemed in good spirits as he signed autographs, according to the Daily Mail. The actor’s recovery came slow and steady.
Months after the operation, Sandler revealed to People that he was doing well, but the experience made him realize he was getting older. He told the outlet how it’s been difficult to admit that the surgery and the pain that comes with it was due to aging. He shared, “It’s only painful to say out loud. I say it was because of basketball so that feels a little bit rugged, but then being unable to tie my own shoe didn’t feel rugged.”

Although he faced struggles after the operation, he had the best help he could have asked for. His wife, Jackie, and his two daughters, Sunny and Sadie, were there to help the “Grown Ups” actor with anything he needed, even if that meant tying his shoe. That said, Sandler admitted he wasn’t the best post-procedure patient. He dished, “They were nice about it. I screamed a lot then calmed down and ate some food.” Now, Sandler seems better than ever as he continues to work on new projects.
