I was recently diagnosed with congenital hip dysplasia and miserable malalignment. This blog will be a chronicle of my journey through diagnosis, surgery, and physical therapy.

Day 6- Exhausted!
I finally got out of the house today! For the first part of the day, my parents dropped my niece off so that they could go buy a new car. My sister watched her and while they were gone (about 5 hours) so I didn't get wore out from that. I even got a nap in! My husband and I both took a nap this afternoon since he didn't get home till 3am and he called me at 2:30am wanting directions to get home. Then this evening we went up to a friends house in Noblesville for a house warming gathering and to go to dinner. First ride in a car since surgery went well, except for all the bumps. We took the Evo and it has stiff shocks that caused me to feel every bump. Then when we got to the house, they had 3 really tall steps out front that my husband had to help lift me up over. The next big obstacle was when we went to dinner. We parked pretty far away from the front door so I had my longest walk yet on crutches to get in the restaurant. By the time my husband and I had gotten inside, everyone was already sitting at a table. It was okay sitting at the table, except for the really uncomfortable chairs. Overall, the biggest problem of the night was me sitting too much and my leg almost falling asleep with my immobilizer on. Tomorrow's adventures: grocery shopping and doing laundry.

Take it easy girl! It's easy to overdo it and then you'll be paying for it the next couple days!!!! Glad to hear you're able to get up and about though:) Sounds like you're a strong hipchick!!! Proud of you, and keep it up! It can only get better. Are you able to decrease your pain meds at this time? What does Dr. Scheid have you on for pain?
