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.


And Just Like That... Woke with Jokes?
Sex and the City revival series And Just Like That… preaches ‘wokeness’ yet uses ableist language. In S1 E5, ‘Tragically Hip’, Carrie Bradshaw refers to arthritis as ‘Old Lady Disease’. I was diagnosed at 18 months and am sick of being misrepresented. My pain isn’t a joke.
