Day 61 & 62
I tried driving 2 hrs and the leg was getting uncomfortable even though I was on a cushion, the wheel was up at it's highest, the seat down and tilted back. An unexpected hard part was using cruise control and lifting the leg to engage the break.  Straight leg raises still suck. I still can't walk without a significant Trendellenberg gait ( penguin waddle ).  I saw myself in a mirror.  Still practicing going up/down steps with cane.
The discomfort is primarily behind the greater trochanter and the buttock
Tomorrow I plan to try side lying ABD.  The other day I did bilateral standing hip 3 way ( flexion, extension, ABD ) using the step height as a platform to touch.
With the cane I can walk decently until the tip catches as I get out of sequence but that happens less.  I can't wait , but obviously will , to see what I can do in 5-6 months.
