Next Appointment
I have had my next appointment with my surgeon brought forward about 5 weeks to 5th Feb, which will be almost 9 months post-op, so shall see how he thinks the recovery is going-a little too slowly for my liking , but hoping it will improve soon.
Thanks Dee, although I think you might have a bit more to worry about that week than me! We will all be far more concerned about how you are doing than my check up, but I will keep you informed. Good luck with the countdown Kate xx
I am not even sure if this is still an active Blog, but here goes. This morning I finally decided to research what I have been afraid to face, that my hip dysplasia as an infant has come back to haunt me as an adult. I have been an active athlete right up until this year, my 44th birthday, but suddenly things like putting my sock on, walking without my leg giving way have made me consider the possiblity that my hip is in need of help. I was on one site this morning and saw your blog. I guess I just felt like over the last year I was losing my flexibility on that side due to the long term affects of my dysplasis as a child. I guess I am reaching out today to see where to start, an X-ray with my doctor? I am scared, I guess after having had this surgery as a 2 year old and being in a body cast for a year and a walking brace, I am afraid of what the future may hold. I am still very active and don't want that to end.....Help! Mary Petteys TX
