One steri-strip down! Baby incision. I'm happy it's healing well! Dr. Nho ended up using my old scar after all (you can kind of see it on the lower part). Pretty sure I'll take the two others off tomorrow, they're barely hanging on. I really look forward for them to be fully healed so I can get into the pool. Lindsay was saying in Vail, water therapy is part of Dr. Philippon's protocol and is started as soon as possible. It would be great so I can practice walking as I'm still very bad at it. My glutes are basically hibernating - and have been since the past year, hardcore. Limping quite a bit, so I'm still on two crutches. Working super hard to get back things in order!
Yesterday my upper thigh was super swollen. So much that it caused my femoral cutaneous nerve to be compressed, creating pain to touch on the lateral side of my thigh, as well as lack of sensation in certain areas. Downside of being a neurology technician? I was being a freak about it. Auto-testing pain sensation, light touch...comparing my left and right thighs...but after icing, anti-inflammatories and rest, it's slowly coming back to normal. Calm down hypocondriac! Today it was much better, but still a little annoying. Today I was a good patient, did both rounds of PT (on my own + Oli with PROM). Went to the gym to bike 20 minutes but there was a dude using it. Damn you dude! Went back another time and he was STILL ON IT. I felt like standing next to him on my crutches and stare him down until he left. SRSLY. Ugh. So no bike today. My joint is begging me to move...tomorrow my friend, tomorrow. Until then, you shall have internal/external leg swings, as pictured below.

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
