Hey Steve,
Good to hear from you
. I'm so glad you're doing OK. With only a week or so post op, I suppose you don't yet know how limited your movements are or will be because the surgery itself prohibits too much movement. I do know some cervical fusion patients and have been told after awhile, they hardly notice it. I hope that's true for you.
I'm pretty sure most of your hip area will regain feeling. It just takes time.
So rest as you must, move as you can and please, keep us posted. Though not what you would chosen, you just had your 15 minutes of fame
Wishing you an easy recovery, Dale
