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.
My COVID+ Journey (so far)
This is my day to day experience being COVID+ with rheumatoid arthritis (since 1988), a history of neutropenia and a compromised immune system from taking TNF inhibitor Enbrel for 21 years. Evolving from a COVID story to a Public Healthcare one due to barriers prohibiting access to antiviral medicine for eligible persons (me).
