I'm going to keep thinking about something awesome for them though! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and for the what to pack list! I screen shot the list so I can get started and not wait til the last minute. I cannot wait until I am 8 weeks post op and moving right along! I took down your email so I can keep in contact. Thank you for being so helpful! Have a great day!

Welcome to hip-central and I hope I can be of ...Hi! Welcome to hip-central and I hope I can be of some inspiration to you during the journey. It's not THAT bad. Ok. I kid. It's pretty crappy. HAHA I actually was going to post my "what to pack" list last night and I got sidetracked so I am most certainly getting to that today. I am glad the blog has been helping you a little. As horrible as the surgery is, I did try to stay positive for myself as well as others going through it because it's truly the only way to 'make it'. Before you know it, 8 weeks has passed and you're basically free to be normal. I started my blog over 3 years ago and back then there were not many blogs or even many people sharing their experience so I had to find forums and email people one on one. There was no Facebook page (which I have my own opinions about) so I was kind of on my own. Now there are SO many blogs. But I feel like mine really captures everything and the feelings. I've read others and they aren't necessarily as informative. <br /><br />As for the screws (your other comment), I have not done anything with them yet as I can't seem to find the right idea. Someone said to attach them to wood to make some kind of towel or coat rack...but idk. I got the screws no questions asked. I was awake for the removal and he put the screws on my lap as they wheeled me to recovery. <br /><br />Feel free to email to DRemond1@gmail.com if you have any other questions!<br /><br />DanielleDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822485020663129637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704895581836119420.post-50986526768020818152014-05-15T11:58:20.773-04:002014-05-15T11:58:20.773-04:00Thank you SO much for your information and persona...Thank you SO much for your information and personal experience. I very much appreciate your positivity and truth in what to expect. I am scheduled to have RPAO May 30th and am nervous not totally knowing what to expect. I saw in this blog that you were going to put together a "what to pack" list...Have you done that? I'm new to the blogging thing and I think I miraculously stumbled across your blog. I haven't read all of them yet but definitely will. Thanks know you again for the info! I'm happy to hear of your great results! kelconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740235734485413740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704895581836119420.post-41810356590266742192014-05-02T09:17:36.696-04:002014-05-02T09:17:36.696-04:00HI!

I'm sure you've read already, but blogs are what prepared me for this surgery. I expected the worst but read through blogs (as there was not much information out there 3 years ago) and talked to others that were on the other side of the PAO and it completely changed my outlook...not to mention my pain was a 20 on a 1-10!! How is your pain? I'd love to talk to you about everything - and for me, it was 120% worth it!!! Please feel free to email me DRemond1@gmail.com and we can talk more! :-) <br />DanielleDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822485020663129637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704895581836119420.post-666726147280965372014-05-02T00:53:49.771-04:002014-05-02T00:53:49.771-04:00Thank you so much for writing all of this down!

Although I have had an abdominal surgery and 2 c-section births, I am still terrified (to put it mildly). I have anxiety and it really helps me to know what to expect. For the most part your posts are positive, and I needed to read that. I've seen a lot of negativity out there and it makes it scarier for sure! I am mostly freaking out about my ability to care for my kids. I have a wonderful hubby, who can take a few weeks off work, but my kids are 1 & 5. That should be interesting. <br /><br />Anyway I just wanted to thank you for your detailed posts. It calms me a lot knowing what to expect. I've been toying with the idea of putting off the surgery a few more years. I'm just torn right now. It's nice to see you are feeling better after surgery. I just hope it's worth it!

Welcome to my journey (what's left ...Hi Leslie! Welcome to my journey (what's left of it) :)<br /><br />Don't be scared, really, if you are in any sorts of pain you will come out feeling so great. You can email me directly, DRemond1@gmail.com and we can chat more about my experience in depth. I look forward to talking with you.<br /><br />The FB group is called Periacetabular Osteotomy https://www.facebook.com/groups/147992365259/ You have to be accepted into the group. Just be forwarned, some people are huge complainers and list the negative so take each comment lightly. ;-) Personally, I'm glad I was not a part of a forum like this because it can really freak someone out. I talked one-on-one with someone and that was all I needed. And the fact that my pain was just excruciating...I would do just about anything!<br /><br />Keep in touch!<br />DanielleDaniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822485020663129637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704895581836119420.post-75184893036025974792014-02-02T05:12:34.569-05:002014-02-02T05:12:34.569-05:00Hi Danielle

SCARED to say that least!!!<br /><br />I notice you mention a Facebook group? What's the group called exactly? I'd love to chat with you a bit more about you post op experiences if you wouldn't mind?<br /><br />LesleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268097608363102500noreply@blogger.com
