Sam even donned a pair of heels – well, one of them, opting for a sneaker on her other foot while she continues to recover.

“We’re getting back into the swing of things,” the TV personality wrote in the caption of the photo.

Sam underwent the major surgery after suffering from a ‘severe’ form of osteoarthritis.

Earlier this month, she posted on Instagram to share photos of the surgery she underwent at St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Sydney.

In a lengthy caption, Samantha explained that she suffers from osteoarthritis after tearing cartilage in her right hip

‘After a very active childhood full of outdoor activities (and a skiing accident 30 years ago) I tore all the cartilage from my right hip.

“It was bone on bone and then filled with severe arthritis. I am so proud of how strong my body is and how well I have healed.

‘I am now truly bionic and my loved ones are happy that they no longer have to see me hobbling around in pain.

‘A huge thank you to the amazing nurses @stvincentshospitalsydney for the care, a bit of Endone (pic 5), lots of rehab and all my lovely friends for my flower filled room!

‘Fun fact: There are 54,000 hip replacements performed in Australia each year, but I have to say my surgeon, Dr Michael Solomon, is THE best.’
