Hi. I didn't ask him about sleeping on a recliner, but I will try to call his office and ask that over the phone tomorrow. (Monday) I'm not too keen on sleeping on a recliner but I still wonder what he thinks because I don't want to impede the mending. He did tell me that I could not ever turn my leg up and twist it over the other leg to cut my toenails. I said to him, "Because the ball may come out"? And he said, yes, that's why. Of course that did not make me too happy because I was looking forward to cutting my nails again. (sigh.) But if it means I can walk without pain, it will just be a minor inconvenience. I waited so long for this surgery, meaning that I've seen multiple doctors but was always too afraid to go through with it. Now there's just about no choice if I want to be more ambulatory. So it's almost like do or die. Or don't do it and be in constant pain without functioning well. I'll keep in touch, thanks.
