Kevin....What a bummer!!! When are the Dr.s going to let you walk? What is your outcome going to be, or do they know? For me it has been 14 mos. and I still have pain in my hip where the rod is.On Aug. 16 I go in for the rod removal but that means another few mo. in a wheelchair. After that I hope I am DONE!!!!!! Anyway, good luck with your recovery. A.J.
