The leg: Six months in

I've gotten used to going to hospitals this year. I've gone more times than I really care to remember since my unfortunate incident.I went again on Friday on what will be (hopefully) my final visit of the year. This is a slightly tardy six-month exam of my pinned together fracture.I took some pictures of the PC after the tech asked her questions and left but before the doctor showed up or the screen locked.The resident came in and asked a slew of questions before my doctor walking in the door."This one's a real son of a bitch," he motioned to me while talking to the resident, "he finished a race with a broken hip!"She looked at me with a look mixed with horror and something resembling "whoa.""Any pain?" he asked."Not really. My knee still hurts a little but it's getting better and I'm still numb around here [motioning around my thigh].""Well, you might never get that back... is it getting any better?""I have a little more feeling. I can feel someone touching my skin there...""Alright! You'll have a full recovery!" the doctor said with a rueful laugh. "Well, you can do whatever you want. I want see see you again in another six months for one last time. I want you to know I haven't ridden my bike since you came in."I gave him a strange look..."No, it's not because of you."
