9 weeks (almost a normal hip)

Strength is getting much better on the operated leg.  Mobility is getting better too.  External rotation is getting better and with a towel I can get my ankle on opposite knee with a slight bend backward.  I'd say I'm about an inch away from getting my sock on.  I can squat lower than I coukd in two years and my stuff legged deadlift nearly touches the floor.  I'm focusing on my loaded high range of motion leg exercises and moving away from machines.  Today I was able to break concrete with an axe (took hundreds of powerful swings to destroy it) which was a great conditioning bonus workout.  My cardio is the best it has been in years.  I think in another month I'll be doing awesome.
