Rod removal complete! Much easier of course than the original surgery but still pretty sore on day 2 at incisions. I’m just icing and elevating mostly today, I can walk but use a cane. I’ll let folks know how fast I’m back to presurgery condition.

I ll remove the nail after a couple of months with Dr Betz.
when u r fully recovered, let me know how does it feel when u walk and run without the nail inside ur thigh,
does it feel better ? lighter ? more balance ?
good luck
Great diary and really insightful comments of your journey.
It’s been almost a week since the rod removal. Overall, this is of course a lot easier than the original surgery but I would say I got caught thinking it would be easier than it is. There’s been a lot of deja vu in the first week with lack of sleep and the just the feeling of being stuck waiting for it to get better. I had made so much progress, especially in the last month, that it’s a little mental battle to go backwards. I mostly limp around with no cane but still use a cane if I’m walking more than a 100 feet or so. I’ll continue to update on how fast I regain more normalcy!
So, my advice, get mentally prepared for this one. Yes, it’s easier but it’s no walk in the park. See the very end of my YouTube video for pictures of the incisions and fairly significant bruising.
Thank you for the video update and hope you feel 100% soon
