Three weeks post-op

Not too much to report... I ditched the cane a few days ago and am walking pretty much normally now. My limp is mostly gone. The area around the scar is still a little inflamed and the groin muscle on my operated leg is tender when I lift my knee, but its exciting to see so much continued progress.

I'm eager to get to my 6 week followup to find out what I'm going to be allowed to do, exercise-wise... I really want to get up on a stationary bike or eliptical machine and start getting those muscles working again.

In case you missed it, there is a great article about Hip Resurfacing in the New York Times this week.

Not sure when I'll write next, perhaps in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for keeping these updates up Dan. Good to be able to check in without having you reiterate to me what you might have otherwise reiterated to many, many people had you not had this website. (Hmm, that's a mouthful of a sentence, eh?)

I was very much interested in your weekly progression. As a male awaiting hip surgery, I much appreciated your description of groin pain, and wonder how you're doing now. Your description matches my own, and is one of the motivating factors for my surgery. Best success in your recovery
