Pesky, excuse me for breaking in on you conversation with jbro but I have a question. I also had my hip removed and part of my pelvis. I have a raised shoe and can drive with my right leg fine. Is there a reason you will have to use your left leg?

@cheryl99 I was told I would probably need an adapted automatic as my right leg may not be strong enough to make an emergency stop. I haven't tried driving yet, but my right leg is getting stronger

@cheryl99 I had 4 surgeries on my right hip in the past 6 months. July 2018 being the last one. I still can't walk and can only stand up for a few seconds. It feels like the pelvic and femur bones are grinding. The surgeon claims I should be able to walk with a walker. I lost about 3 inches in height. I kept getting infections which is why so many surgeries. I wish you lots of luck. God bless you and have a merry Christmas and safe happy new year... Mary
