Just got back from a 6-night stay at the hospital due to a Femoral Popliteal Bypass surgery in my right leg. I had an aneurysm behind my knee that they had to get around. Incision goes from my groin to my ankle. It went great but the recovery is pretty brutal. 6 to 8 weeks of rehab. Anyone got any good ones on your resume?
Best of luck on recovery. I've been lucky, but I've spent a significant amount of time in hospital/recovery with my wife. Best advice I can give? Don't half-ass the rehab.
