Just a hello to say I made it through surgery and all is well.

I will say my Doc has got to share his way of harvesting bone from the hip
for the bond graft.
The way the orthopedic Doc's do it causes people a huge amount of
pain....and they seem not able to walk to well after the operation. I was
fine, not much pain at all there. Just a little pain from the muscles that
were cut through when getting in and out of bed...but walking didn't hurt
a bit.

Great! Sounds like you were lucky or techniques have improved since my
operation. How about the neck? Any pain there?
