Surgery – Rod in Femur – July 15, 2008

July 15, 2008

I had surgery to put a “rod” in my femur for bone strength.  Due to the radiation of my thigh, the concern was my femur breaking with just walking.  This was to insure no future breakage.  I would again be on crutches but putting full body weight on my leg the next day.  I chose to do physical therapy on my own this time.  I did a lot of walking and water exercise to increase my leg movement & motion.  Initially & for about 3 weeks, I could feel the rod in my bone.  It was painful.  But as it bonded to the bone, I could no longer feel it.
