Hi everyone!
I'm going in for THR October 22-a decision I struggled with for years. I had my "issues" since birth. My right butt cheek and leg is much smaller then the left, I never sat Indian style, never can paint my toe and the 2 times I actually managed to tie my shoe I ended up with back pain. I have tailored my life around these obstacles and the only reason I decided to do the surgery is because 1. I am hoping I will be able to tie my shoe, paint my toes, and (I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but make love to my husband and actually SEE his face (my "work around" is to get creative and unfortunately we can never be face to face) and 2. I need a surgery sooner or later so now seems like the right time. The pain is such a part of me that I don't even mind it in most of the time and there are days i struggle with going into surgery because I cant justfy it, I start to feel like I need to be in horrible pain but reading posts here helps me get rid of this guilt-THNAK YOU ALL for that!
I guess I just want to know-will I seriously be able to tie my shoe and paint my toes (even though I was never able to)????
