I had the surgery

The surgery went okay. I certainly was not prepared for the painfully slow rehab. It's been five weeks since the surgery (30 Nov 2004). I still have some swelling that has yet to go away--not sure if this is normal. Does anyone know how to tell if the surgery was a success early on? If anyone has any questions please contact me. Gregg
