Let the journey begin!
As of last week my surgery date has been set for Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 11:30 am! I am honestly very very nervous and scared but ready. I feel like since i found out i had Congenital Hip Dysplasia that is all i can think about besides the fact that i have bursitis and a almost torn labrium that causes a lot of pain which seems to remind me daily. I have mixed feelings and find myself asking the same questions, "WHY ME", i mean i know that might not be the best thing to ask when i know there are a lot of people out there that are a lot worse off. I also want to know why i have had pain for about 4 years now and doctors continued to tell me the same thing " its a pulled muscle and if you stopped cheering it wouldn't hurt anymore", i was kinda mad because this condition had nothing to do with my cheering even though now i can never do it again it still made me upset that it took this long to find out what it really was. I know I'm Lucky that i don't have to go into this blind and alone. I have met two great girls that have been through this same procedure performed by the same doctor. They have been very helpful with everything and by answering all my questions. Also my family is very supportive and will be there every step of the way. I know by surgery is 62 days away which seems like awhile but to me it seems way to soon. I'm scared to face what is to come but i know i will get through it. I have pain almost everyday and i know the operation is necessary for me to not have pain or a hip replacement in years to come. I guess you could say I'm scared for the unknown. but i will blog soon when new information is given. I will post a few pictures of me cheering and my family that is behind me!

Hello. I was looking for procedures to fix my problem and i ran across your name. I hope you don't mind me leaving a comment. My name is Jennifer Smith and when i was born i was diagnosed with CHD (Congenital Hip Dysplasia). I am 24 years old and have been living with this my whole life.....I hurt all the time and never get any relief, i can't play with my two beautiful daughters because i hurt way to bad to run with them or to play any kind of sporting activities, i was blessed that both of my daughters where born perfectly healthy and don't have this CHD. I have talked to doctors about trying to get my hip fixed and they won't even see me because i don't have any kind of insurance and no proof that i will pay the bill when it is all said and done. Any way i just wanted to ask you when you get your surgery done please let me know what the experience was like? I long for that day so much. Good luck and may god give you a quick recovery.

Hi Sabrina,
ReplyDeleteI am anxiously awaiting news of a SUCCESSFUL Surgery. I guess you already know that you got an A in Biology 105 with 3 points to spare.
With school out until Jan 11, I need something to focus on besides my parrot and sudoku, so I am counting on you.
My prayers are with you.
Blessings
Mrs. K
