surgery itself was a lateral, it was a lateral cut, so it was kind of a cross here, and was quite large, but was, you know, I was very happy that it was done like that, because it was not what I feared, which would have, I think, hindered my recovery, which would been a vertical cut down towards the groin and the surgeon was very clear because of my other condition, you know the prostate, by which time I knew that was prostate cancer, he wanted to give me the best possible opportunity to have that treated quickly. So yeah, but to be honest with you, from day two onwards, or rather day three, if I'm calling it that way, by a few days after the surgery, I was able to walk and I was increasingly mobile.
