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: August 2009
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Sunday, August 30, 2009. 5 1/2 weeks post surgery. Well, not much new to report on the recovery front. I am becoming more proficient with crutches (although Dr. Kregor never told me I could use them! I can at least hook the sock over my toe, then put my foot on the floor and pull the sock on while bent at the waist . ok, nevermind . it's just really hard! Oh - and also...

My PAO Story: November 2009
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Thursday, November 5, 2009. Someone should have warned me this would not be easy. I should have joined the Yahoo! Hipwomen forum several months ago! Since my last update, I haven't had much to report. Work has been busy, and the RPAO. Well of course we would go to an "indoor" pool. :-). I'm doing some web surfing on muscles and trying to better understand various injur...

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.

This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Saturday, October 3, 2009. Wow over 10 weeks since surgery! My blogging pace is slowing down! I've been back to work for 2 full weeks now, so I have had NO time for updates! I have 2 major initiatives going on at work, so that on top of just being exhausted and keeping up with the family has kept all my attention lately. Well, I see Dr. Kregor on October 19th and w...

My PAO Story: July 2009
http://myrpaostory.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
This blog is dedicated to documenting my journey with Hip Dysplasia, and my experience with the Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) procedure. Friday, July 31, 2009. I need a "Pain Management for Dummies" book. Seriously - someone should write a "Pain Management for Dummies" book. Actually, once I started typing this in my blog post I hit Google to see if it was actually out there. To my not-so-surprise, there are several. :-) That cracks me up. Around the incision, and reminded me I did have a hematoma.
