Good luck man. When you get back on tell us what the surgery is.
For anyone who doesn't remember Adam was in a bad car accident several years ago and he has had a lot of trouble recovering from it fully. He's had some bone infections, etc. it has not been an easy road at all.

Welp i got home from surgery on wednesday and ive been takin it easy all weekend. Im doin ok si far still on crutches but im full weight bearing and the doc says my recovery should be short, few months or so and ill be up and walkin with no assistive devices.
The surgery was a Hip Resurfacing not a full hip replacement, basically its a new joint surface, should free up my range of motion.

Sounds like what I'll be having done to my shoulder soon. It's so loose, I sometimes dislocate it just by moving my arm wrong. Yes, what Mel Gibson said in Lethal Weapon is true, it doesn't hurt much coming out, it's the going back in that's a son-of-a-b**ch.
They're going to build me my own suite at the surgery center soon. So far, I've had... facial reconstruction, cartilage removed from my left wrist, perma-cath installed in my chest, Fistula done on my left wrist, perma-cath removed and a kidney transplant. I still need my shoulder fixed (many bike wrecks), my right clavicle pinned (still broken, won't heal), and my sinuses opened up (healed really tiny after my facial reconstruction). Horrible thing is, I'm looking at getting another track bike.
Glad to hear you're back on your feet. As you can tell, I've been trough a few recoveries and it doesn't get any easier. Juststick to what the Docs tell you, but don't be afraid to get a second opinion any time you feel weird about something they're telling you.
