Pop Up Day - 6 Months Later

September 1st - the other Pop Up Day of the year in the world according to Laura.

How far I've come in 6 months:
  • I feel like a normal person most of the time.
  • My left hip hurts more often and more painfully than my right.
  • My scar isn't so bad.
  • It was worth it, worth it, worth it.

In 3 months and a day I'll be back in to have my left hip done. My second surgery will be almost a year to the day that I learned I have hip dysplasia and that the pain that had been plaguing me for years could be alleviated.

I'm looking forward to February pop-up '09. I'll be done with my surgery, done with my crutches and done with my cane. And except for the final hardware removal, I'll be done with the year of the hip.
