I made it through surgery- 9 and 1/2 hours of it. Eric actually went in for about 2 hours near the end. I never, ever could have done that. Mad props to the boy! Also props for the fact that he has washed my face for me and fluffed my pillows. He's an excellent fluffer.
So, it looks like there was no cartilage tear, but there was lots and lots of impingement from my fat femoral neck, so they shaved that down and did the PAO after that.
So the part that I was mosty scared of is over. Now, all I have to do is get through the recovery.
That's easy, right?
PS- If you're wondering how I'm capable of blogging, the answer is simple.
Epidural.

Listening.
Listening with all my heart.
Just spent 5 minutes staring at the keyboard trying to think of something else to say that could possibly help...but I got nothin.
But I will ALWAYS be listening. (Not out of any sense of obligation or pity, dammit!) I just love to hear what you have to say, hip or no hip. And that's because you are amazingly funny, insightful, and cool.
Hip. Or. No. Hip.
