RMP: How is the recovery going? Tomorrow it will be three weeks for me. I've ridden quite a bit (not as much as usual, obviously). I am not 100%, but I am feeling better. My groin is getting some of the feeling back, and so I feel some stretching, puliing, tingling sometimes. The balls remain a little tender. I am eager for that to go away. The scar is looking quite good--much better than the scar I had from a previous surgery 27 years ago. I suspect that for the most part the hair will cover it up. I don't have to go back to the doc. I recommended to him that he tell patients to keep things supported after surgery. That really helped me. And I told him that they should do a better job of shaving. One of the worst moments in the ordeal was when I had to take the bandage off. Ouch!
