Cant believe it has been 3 days since I posted - this may sound really strange but the days have gone really quickly, considering I haven't left the house that is.
It is 2 weeks today that I had the PAO so that is 1/3 of the non-weight bearing time done. Already after only 2 weeks I can tell that my muscles on my right leg are wasting.
The glue and scabs have all come off the wounds and underneath they look great. There is only one bit at the lower end of the right scar that looks a touch red, but I am just going to keep an eye on it for now and keep it dressed.
I am going down to stay with my parents this weekend and hopefully taking my first trip swimming. I cannot wait to get in the water. We will not be going in their pool as the heat exchanger is only gettng fixed this week and it will take a while to warm up so we are going to the local pool. My Dad and Westy are going to play golf together on saturday, I'm so pleased Westy is getting to play some golf as this last couple fo weeks have been stressful for him too and that is how he relaxes. (and I'm only a tieeny bit jealous of him, only a teeny bit though as now this last PAO is done I don;t have any more hips so it is the start of me getting my life back and soon I will be on the golf course too - maybe even by the end of the summer - wow that would be amazing.
Its sunny today which means I can sit on the balcony in the sunshine, its a change from in front of the TV or in bed!

I was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia in March 2009. I am undergoing several operations over the next 2 years. The aim of this blog is to document my progress and allow other people to share my experinces.
