I'm envious!
Howdy y'all! My name is Kelly, I've sporadically posted here before, with long gaps in between. So a quicky bio on me: I am a 38 year old - about to turn 39 in a few weeks - woman with four fur babies and random foster fur babies. I am a disabled veteran - Army medic hooah! - because of my...- Ducky

Roller coasters, horses, heels, oh my
@confused newb I was in the Army, they pushed for us to jump out of planes. No thank you. I was married to a guy who jumped out of planes for the Army. No thank you. That's one of those adrenaline rushes I'll have to go to the grave being ignorant about :snork: @Jaycey Thank you! I'll...- Ducky

Roller coasters, horses, heels, oh my
I've been scouring the web to see what activities that I loved but can no longer do due to pain/mobility will I be able to do after having both of my hips replaced. Mostly what I find is opinion, I can't find much, if anything, in the way of real information regarding a few things. First off...- Ducky

Why are some surgeons so hateful?
Thank you all for the support and kind words! It's a relief and a comfort to know I'm not alone. Although, I am envious of the treatment you guys are getting :snork: I wish I could blame the VA, but other than the first doc, I have been sent out to see civilian doctors. Darn not being able...- Ducky

Josephine, Thank you for the kind words, I really need the support! Leave it to a nurse to know the drill! Both of my parents are retired RNs. Sometimes I think it's the nurses who should run the show!- Ducky

Why are some surgeons so hateful?
Aloha! It's been a few years since I've posted, so a quick review of me. I'm now 38, I live in the middle of no where Minnesota, I'm owned by 3 bossy cats, and have a cowardly service dog who also bows down to the cats - AKA the Fur Overlords. I am a veteran of the US Army (medics rock...- Ducky

Protrusio acetaboli here, any one else?
Does anyone have any experience with stem cell regeneration? It seems like depending on what source used to harvest the stem cells, is what those stem cells can be used for (which I don't get because I thought stem cells were basically blanks waiting for orders). I looked into half a dozen...- Ducky

Protrusio acetaboli here, any one else?
Those are great ideas! I'm pretty sure there can't be too many surgeons who have worked with PA. I'll look into the other two suggestions. What great ideas, thank you!- Ducky

Protrusio acetaboli here, any one else?
Unfortunately, the VA isn't run like the rest of the medical world. I don't have much choice when it comes to a primary care provider and even less choice when it comes to specialists. The OS guy I went to was the only hip specialist in the state, so he's what I get. He's the one who said no...- Ducky

Protrusio acetaboli here, any one else?
I certainly appreciate the information Josephine! It's good to be more informed about what will happen to me. Have to admit though, knowing there is a good chance I won't be able to walk and get to enjoy increased pain made me cry all night long! In the civilian world, would I be eligible for...- Ducky

Protrusio acetaboli here, any one else?
Aloha! I'm a 36 year old woman living in the middle of no where with a scardy service dog and three bossy cats. I was diagnosed with bilateral protrusio acetaboli earlier this year. When I was 18 and in Army basic training, I started having pain in my right hip marching and running and sit...- Ducky
