Ahhhh! First shower since Wednesday...felt SO good! Had to put a waterproof bandage over my stitches to avoid them getting wet/infected. Today is my first post-op day without physical therapy...so I'm working on getting everything done at our apartment. It's pretty crazy how time consuming it is all. On my own (twice a day) Quads/Glutes/TA isometrics: 20 x 5s Quadruped rocking 20x Quadruped pelvic tilt 20x With Oli's assistance (twice a day) Circumduction in both directions Circumduction with 70 degree hip flexion in both directions 20-30 degree hip abduction Log roll I need to spend 4 hours per day on the CPM machine to avoid adhesions. Another 2-3 hours laying on my stomach. And spend as much time possible with the ice machine. This is a full time job! Luckily I'm here for the next two and a half weeks, which allows me to be 100% invested in my recovery. I'm slowly weaning off Norco and I'm hoping to be completely off it soon. It's making me so sleepy and dizzy. ZzzzZzzzz.

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
