I talked today with my daughter the pediatrician, who is good friends with my surgeon, about my hip. As the current surgeon had to lengthen my leg 5/8" to match the other one that the other surgeon screwed up by making it too long he was pre-op a little concerned about lengthening the leg the right amount and getting it just right. (It is).

She explained to me that in making the femur longer it suddenly makes all the muscles, nerves and blood vessels too short so it makes the recovery a bit slower as they all are stretched out and need to deal with the new situation. My two week checkup is tomorrow at 745 am. Wish me luck!
