I am still learning/struggling to trust the piece of engineering in my body. It's a funny feeling thinking about it.

Sounds like your getting there. No break dancing for awhile yet. Cheers, Mike

Quick update. It took a bit longer than the two weeks the doctor mentioned, but at 3 and a half weeks, I finaly threw away one of the two crutches. So progress is being made.

Thanks for viewing.
Michael.

but are you using the one on the correct side?

Jip. Left leg=new hip,crutch in right hand.

I was on crutches for a year and half after the accident back in 09". Thanks for the thought @deakin . You have it like that too right?

Good news. Have your ligaments and muscles stretched out any?

that is a really long time. my tibia was 6 months before weight bearing. my smashed femur near the hip was not all that long with rod and plate but some time with a crutch then cane

Still busy and it burns like hell. My leg was shorter for 13years so it's going to take time. My thigh is very tender and the skin is very sensative for some reason.
