I'm home again. The drugs still aren't allowing me to focus or type too well, but just wanted you all to know that the doctors were pleased with the procedure they did and have high hopes that it will remedy my pain. I'm not going to hold my breath but I'm encouraged and looking forward to seeing if they're right.
One little surprise is that the surgeon decided he wants me to be totally non-weight-bearing on my left side for six weeks. I did this after each of my hip replacements but not after the last bone graft. This time, though, he wants the very best possible chance for the proper grafting to occur and so he wants to avoid all stress to the bone. Good thing I have a comfy recliner!
Okay, well it's taken quite a while for me to type even this much so I'm going to lie down. Thank you, so much, for all your prayers and encouragement...
