The New Hip (x ray)
This is the thing I’ve been wanting for a few years - finally had installed in May - and have been in recovery for, ever since.
Recovery is a long road and will likely continue for a few more months. Visually, you can see how walking one way for nearly 40 years will take some “getting used to” in the aftermath!
Thanks to all who have been patient with me. Thanks to my coworkers who’ve had to take on additional stuff while I was away or maybe not firing on all cylinders.
Thanks to my moto social pals & the Ottawa riding community for allowing me to take five: i hope to be back with a killer event in July! STAY TUNED! 👀
At 37, I didn’t see this coming. When I was told I would require surgery, I figured it was a “down the road” thing. The arthritis pain was something I can’t accurately described but please read my blog(s) over the past few years for a basic idea. I’ve tried to document my journey to help others following the same path.
I really, really wish that I could be more public about this surgery and recovery online, however there is an account on Facebook posing as me. They screenshot my posts and captions here on Instagram and put them on Facebook in an attempt to make their scams seem more legit. Since going private, I have been able to slow down their efforts. Reporting them has done zero so I had to “go dark” (post in private).
Please share my story with anyone in your circle who may benefit. I wish I had more “young” people to talk to at various stages along my path so I would love to be that person to others.
Always keep going. Love your body & be kind to yourself.
