Last day before I fly out to Chicago. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. To be honest, I would of been excited if it wasn't for this week's news of hip dysplasia. Now I'm on the edge...impatiently waiting for my appointment with Dr.Stover on Monday.
So far I have: Dr.Millis in Boston & Dr.Belzile in Quebec City who confirm dysplasia (and the surgeon who did my first scope) and cam impingement Dr.Sink at HSS who's uncertain about dysplasia, he feels my femoral head is large compared to my acetabulum Clearly my case isn't black or white. I wish it was...but since I can't change anything I'm going to cross my fingers that everything goes well. I'm afraid they will tell me to cancel surgery with Dr.Nho. I've been looking forward to this for so long. But if ever revision arthroscopy is not the way to go, I won't have a choice but to accept it. I know if that's what they suggest, it's the best thing for me. I just really hope I won't have to go through PAO. Especially that I would have to wait up to 16 months before having surgery thanks to the Canadian public health system. I can't handle more time enduring the pain and limitations. But I won't get ahead of myself...I'll wait to see what Dr.Stover says on Monday. Yesterday was my last day at the office, and my colleagues surprised me with a beautiful card wishing me a speedy recovery. It was so nice of them...I cried as I read it, sitting at my desk. I took a photo of it so that I can read it once I'll be in Chicago :)

AuthorMy name is Marie-Christine. I'm 34 years old and live in Montreal, QC, Canada. I have had two failed hip scopes on my right hip to do undiagnosed hip dysplasia. My amazing surgeon, who is in Quebec City, performed periacetabular osteotomy in November 2017. He also did one left hip scope (non dysplastic) in February 2017. Archives
