Leigh,
I had it done the open way on Wedenesday. I actually feel I'm a day behind on recovery. Yesterday my left leg was completely numb and the doctor was really afraid of nerve damage. I lucked out and overnight everything corrected itself. Thank god. All I could think about was not being able to walk. Today I'm doing laps around the hospital. Went out side for a little bit. I'm really not pushing it either. I have zero pain and have not had to used the morphine button.

Great News!
I have my RC next Tues and have already determined that the hospital is "Laptop friendly" so hopefully, I will also be able to update the forum

Dear George,

All I can say is WOW!!

You have had a remarkable recovery to be able to get online and write an email within 2 days...I was just about able to wash my own face at two days post op never mind sending an email.

Did you have laproscopic robotic surgery or open incision...just curious?

Keep it up George, I wish you all the very best with your recovery...

Kind Regards
Leigh

Thanks,
