SURGERY SCHEDULED
After many delays, my hip surgery is finally scheduled for Wednesday, August 20th. I meant to tell all of you individually, but this is just an easier way to get the information out.
Some of you may recall that I have hip dysplasia, where my hip sockets never fully developed. As a result, over theyears, my hip joint has been breaking down and it's caused me pain and even buckles occasionally.
This surgery is a pretty crazy one -- they 're going to cut out my entire hip socket and put it back in a different orientation and hold it together with screws. I won't be able to put weight on it for 6 weeks.
But in the end, it'll hopefully save my hip joint. Yes, I'll probably need a hip replacement when I'm much older, but I'd rather do it later in life than in, say, 10 years from now.
So, even though this is an aggressive surgery, I think it'll be for the best.
Thanks for your concern!
