Hip replacement

I will need replacement of both hips. The Xrays show the left is worse but the pain is worse in the right. I am scheduled for surgery for the right hip but wonder if both hips can be done at one time. Has a nyone had double hip replacement and if so, what was the rehab like?

Both hips are very much possible at the same time.
It is a common practice.
