Day 5 (saturday-op was on tuesday)

I have run out of rhyming titles.

Had an early night last night and slept mostly all night.

Today much the same as yesterday.  Haven't fallen or wobbled yet but the day's not over.  I've just taken my second Endone of the day at 5pm so that's a lot better than yesterday.

My.leg is still swollen and my quads are sore and non responsive.  I have a mass of swelling near the incision which I think is causing the femoral nerve to poop out, which would result in surly quads.  

I am happy because the actual hip joint is way better than the old one.  I am sad because this thing with my femoral nerve/quads is not normal and is really slowing down my recovery.  I need to know if it's just the swelling or ...what?

Tomorrow I will call the surgeon's rooms and try to get in to see him (at his request). So we will see.

Thought I'd mention that both mfp and my fitbit estimate my caloric burn at about 1300-1500 a day, and I have so far had no problems eating close to that amount, and getting 70-80g protein a day.  I won't be weighing any time soon, with my giant swolled thigh, but I'm surely at/under maintemance.
