Sixth day after the surgery...improving faster than I expected. The swelling is starting to decrease and the entry point at the hip is no longer oozing. The walker is no longer needed...can take slow steps unaided. Still some pain, but I think part of it is from the clamp/vise they put me in .
Along with the 3 boxes of stomach injections to prevent clots, they sent me home with a bottle of 325mg Norco for pain...I haven't had to open it.
