Day 153 - "You're Fully Healed"

Saw my orthopedic surgeon this morning. Took an x-ray. After studying my x-ray for a moment, he turned to me and proclaimed "You're fully healed". I looked at the x-ray and he showed me where the bone had grown back. While I was happy hear him tell me the bone had healed, I don't feel fully healed. I have a slight limp, I don't have full mobility of my leg (I can't sit Indian style), and I can feel there is something in my hip. I don't feel 100%, more like 75%. I'm hoping that my leg/hip will get better in the coming months and I won't eventually notice it, but from the few people I have talked to who have broken bones, they tell me that it is never the same. I hope they are wrong. The other positives from my doctor visit today is he cleared me for full activity and I don't have to see him anymore. Hopefully, I have fullfilled my quota of broken bones and won't have to visit him ever again.
