Pre-Op w/ My bestie - Post-Op Right ScopeI am a little over 3 weeks post-op from my 3rd hip surgery. I had my right hip scoped, again, and the surgery was preformed on 10 Aug. 2010. Dr. Maiers preformed the surgery and the original plan was to do femoral head reshaping. During the surgery the plans changed because of the damage found. In addition to the femoral osteochondroplasty, I needed a labral repair and iliopsoas tendon release because the tendon was "snapping" over my hip joint, aggravating and worsening the labral tear. There was degeneration and arthritis. Dr. Maiers seemed very sombre when he gave me the news. The surgery lasted 2.5 hours, an hour longer than planned and my recovery is a lot different than anticipated. I am not allowed to bend past 90 degrees, bear more than 50% of my body weight and absolutely have no external rotation for a minimum of 4 weeks.
A week after surgery I participated in Hippie Union 2010! There was nearly half a dozen girls
involved all sharing stories, advice and new information we have found. It was a great weekend with some amazing women.
