Hip Surgery at 37 Years Old
My arthritic/dysplastic hip had a good run but now, it’s time to get an upgrade. At 37 years old, I’ve had a total hip replacement at the Ottawa Hospital (General) and this is my story from one week pre-op to the main event and recovery process. It’s updated regularly. Hoping to share my experience for others who find themselves on a similar path.
Hip Surgery Needed
My quality of life is in decline so it’s time to ask for that hip surgery… only the question can’t even be heard right now because our healthcare system is so stressed due to COVID hospitalizations that I am one of thousands of Ontarians being temporarily denied care.
