Where did the time go!??! I honestly cannot believe it's been three months since surgery with Dr. Nho. How are we already almost February? At least it's good to know time flies, as I can't wait to get it over with this freezing weather! Cold and a forecast of death needles and frostbite. I keep slipping when walking on icy sidewalks and every single time my heart stops...and then I need a second to make sure I didn't destroy my 20000$ hip. Luckily, so far so good! SO! Here's a rundown of where I'm at right now:
YUP. That's me, today. Back in a hospital gown. And for once, it wasn't for my hip! My asthma has been a bit stupid since the past week, and I've been waking up every hour coughing my life. What's the best thing? To have an amazing lung doctor...who's your good friend! He kindly added me to his patient list, and I was able to see him today. I was worried it would get worse since I'm flying out to Chicago in two days for my follow up with Dr. Nho...so it was really reassuring to have his opinion and treatment plan. Happy :) And for once, X-Rays that aren't for my hip!!! I see Sebastien (my lung doctor) at the same hospital where my first surgeon works. I was actually nervous when walking in the front doors...I was so afraid I'd walk by him in the hallways. Chances were really slim, as it's a huge hospital, and it's on completely different floors...but still. I'm not sure how I'd react. I still have resentment for him, as he screwed me over hard, and completely abandoned me. Luckily I didn't see him, so in the end, all is good! So happy I have my handicapped parking pass. Parkings always seem to be full, and a trap for you to slip and break your hip. Really appreciating being closer to the entrance and lowering the risk of me killing myself. I'm not exaggerating at all.
I'm flying out on Friday, and I'm looking forward to my mini trip there! I'm having dinner with past clients who became friends on Friday. They both live in Milwaukee and will be driving down to Chicago so we can spend the afternoon/evening together. We shall eat like there's no tomorrow. So fun! Then on Saturday, I'm meeting up with two fellow hip friends I met back in October for some drinks. We all had surgery with Dr. Nho, a few days apart, and it'll be nice to chill with people going through the same situation :) Super excited to see Lindsay on Monday! And then my appointment with Dr. Nho is on Tuesday morning, and I fly back home in the afternoon. I need to plan what to do in my downtime, SkyDeck and simply walking around for photos are part of my plan. Hopefully my hip will cooperate! I will make sure not to forget my NSAIDs and Norco haha. Alright, going out for dinner with my friends. Sushi FTW!

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
