The second surgery on my right leg took place a week ago today. I was in the operating room for over 12 hours. Most of my right leg has been replaced.  The bottom 8 inches or so of my femur is new, connected to a new artificial knee, connected in turn to a new tibia that connects to the few remaining inches of the old tibia. Given that my right hip is already artificial you’d think that would come with superpowers, but so far nothing. I was in a lot of pain, I mean a lot, for the first two days. Then with all the pain medications I started hallucinating but I’m on the mend now. Just  finished up a session of PT, and hopefully later this week they’ll be able to discharge me to an acute care rehab closer to home.
