well, i knew it was bound to happen sooner or later...I'll be going into get a complete hip replacement on October 20th....
I was born with a degenerative disability......Hip displaycia...a disability that will only get worse as time goes on....it will never be better and it will never go away...the only options i really have are getting temporary hip replacements...and even then that will never completely fix the problem....so the surgery was inevitable it was only a matter of time...
its going to be a long hard recovery process alot of physical therapy will be involved....i'm gonna need alot of help to simply dress my self....that is at least until i can figure out how to do it my self....i'll be on a walker, crutches or a cane depending on how i feel that day....hopefully everything will go alright....there is a risk of blood clotting....and rupture....which can potentially kill me if not sought to imediate attention....i know its a low risk....but i'm still scared and nervous none the less....
here's hoping i have a fast recovery.... ^_^
