Glad to hear that you are doing well.. sometimes the post op shit can be worse than the illness..years ago I herniated a disc in my neck and they had to hack off a chunk of my hip bone and craft a new disc to fuse into my neck to take its place.. the cut in my neck hurt for a few days.. but my hip turnd black and it was a true bitch to walk on for about 3 months. Best wishes for continued recovery
