My PAO Story: What a week!
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-week.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Friday, October 23, 2009. It has been a roller-coaster of a week, so I'm just now getting around to providing an update! I said, "um, really? Afterall, I have not even TRIED to walk since my surgery in July. I gave it a whirl . and though wobbly, I walked around a little in the room! My son was thrilled! I realized that while I thought I was doing about 75% weight bear...

My PAO Story: 12 weeks and who's counting?
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009/10/12-weeks-and-who-counting.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Saturday, October 17, 2009. 12 weeks and whos counting? Counting every single day I might be closer to walking and feeling normal again. Monday, October 19th I see Dr. Kregor for my 12.5 week follow up. At this point I'm probably 75% weight bearing, via one crutch, and hoping Mondays xrays show the bone breaks have finally healed. Is it just the cold damp weather?

My PAO Story: A week from tomorrow - see Dr. Kregor again
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009/09/week-from-tomorrow-see-dr-kregor-again.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Sunday, September 13, 2009. A week from tomorrow - see Dr. Kregor again. I have now joined a Yahoo group for "hipwomen". I for once feel not quite so alone in this journey, but have to admit I'm jealous of many women whose surgeons allow weight bearing right after surgery! For those women who have already replied to my posts (either on the forum or on my blog), thank y...

My PAO Story: December 2009
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Wednesday, December 2, 2009. About 4 1/2 months post RPAO . seeing the light. So I'm about 4.5 months post-op now. I'm walking on both legs, unassisted! It's so easy to over-analyze daily progress . it's dangerous! While I may not physically feel 100%, I am thankful for being alive and being able to walk! Not everyone is this fortunate at this stage of PAO recovery.
