She can walk without Walker support now.
Normally unaided walking is started after 3-4 weeks of walking full weight bearing with Walker.

If surgery was 25th April, she should be back to walking normally.
She will find it difficult to sit on floor,as the hip will not he comfortable. I advice you to avoid sitting on floor.
