Oooohhh, not pretty: Floyd Landis and Brent Kay, Floyd's personal physician, look at his surgery scar before changing the dressing and bandages on his right hip during his first rehabilitation session at his home in Murrieta, Calif., Friday.(AP photo/Kevork Djansezian)
Although a two-hour procedure Wednesday by Dr. David Chao revealed greater damage to Floyd Landis' hip than initially shown in MRI screenings, Bad Boy Floyd appears to be on the road to recovery.
Landis, whose arthritic right hip was injured in a 2003 crash, returned to his Murrieta home Thursday and will immediately begin six weeks of physical therapy. He can start low-intensity training on his bike in 1-to-2 weeks, a spokesman said.
Landis hopes to be back to full health in time to train for next year's Tour de France, which will begin in London.
