Where does time go??? I can't believe I'm now exactly one month before surgery. In one month, I will be a few hours post-op.
It seems unreal. It seems like there was so many back and forth since my first hip arthroscopy in December 2014. Pain, worry, xrays, consults, more xrays, more consults, more pain, more unanswered questions...I feel like there was rarely a moment in the past 8 months where I had a feeling of certitude with my hip. Pincer/No pincer, Cam/No cam, Dysplasia/No dysplasia...calling hospitals to find who has the shortest wait time for tests. Continually going to archives to get reports, without them being ready. Going back. Reading the results and feeling more confused than before. But now, shit's getting real. Today I received an email and I have to send in all my medical history, medication, etc to Dr.Nho. I went shopping to buy comfy PJs to spend my days in. I'm piling up books, colouring books, journals to bring. I still have a few things to take care of, like seeing what Dr.Millis from Boston thinks about my file. I sent it over a month ago to have it checked for dysplasia. I'm supposed to hear from them this week. Either I will know by email, or they will ask me to go in for a consult. It's only a 5 hour drive from Montreal, and a city I've never visited, so it wouldn't be too much of a big deal if I had to go. I just want to know as soon as possible so I can plan things. I'm the type of person that needs to know everything...so I suck at this waiting game. But the wait is soon over, and a new chapter will soon begin!

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
