My hips are looking good - kind of...
I’ve had a big growth spurt this year.
I’m going to need to have more surgery.
One of the screws in my hip will need to be pushed in more.
My left leg has also been playing up and I’m going to need tendons, ligaments and muscles cut and lengthened.
(My left foot is starting to turn in quiet badly and effecting my standing and walking tolerance).
It will be another big surgery.
I’ll have to go back into the brace (although the surgeon and Mum and Dad will talk about alternate options).
My surgeon said it would be on his next available spot - which turned out to be at the start of next year.
Mum and Dad asked for it to not be then, they don’t want me to miss another summer.
So, my next surgery is probably going to be in autumn next year.
We are ok, for now.
We know it needs to be done.
I was cranky and sad.
Mum and Dad are being strong.
We will be ok.
(I’ve not been sleeping very well and Mum and Dad are super tired!)
