Ok so 6 months ago around this time I was out of my mind, laid in hospital after having a peri acetabular osteotomy on my left hip. The operation only took 2.5 hours, I didn't need a blood transfusion, I woke within 30 minutes and told the nurse all about tractors, 17 hours after the operation I took myself off with a walking frame to the canteen, I only had to stay in hospital for 4 days, it would have been 3 but they didn't have my drugs, At 3 months came off all opiate drugs, At 4 months started work, At 5 month got discharged from physio, had my 6 month CT 3 weeks early and told I don't have to go back to the hospital for 12 months, And I did a run! Well a jog, 500 meters tops, but I was running!! HAPPY But there are downsides too of course, but the good far outweigh the bad! Like I still have no feeling in my thigh, My pelvis aches, I'm assuming from healing but it aches all the time, I still have a slight limp, but it's the best it's been in like 3 years, I have a noticeable skinnier leg, but it's getting there. And I still can't fasten jeans, so I'm walking about top button undone, some comments have been made 😂 I'm really happy and proud of my progress 😀 I've just stayed positive and done all I can to get better. Yes I'm not 100% but I never expected to be at a year never mind 6 month
