My Journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

"On the girl's brown legs there were many small white scars. I was thinking, do those scars cover the whole of you, like the stars and the moons on your dress? I thought that would be pretty too, and I ask you right here please to agree with me that a scar is never ugly. That is what the scar makers want us to think. But you and I, we must make an agreement to defy them. We must see all scars as beauty. Okay? This will be our secret. Because take it from me, a scar does not form on the dying. A scar means, I survived."

6 Weeks Post-Op

Last Wednesday was my 6 weeks post-op date.

Today I'm going to see my hip surgeon just as a regular post-op appointment. I haven't talked about my hips much lately, but they're doing really really well. I think my surgeon is going to be very surprised and impressed with my progress. I'm able to do single leg exercises on my left side now, too! Unfortunately, the knee has limited that progress for the past week but even with the knee issues, overall I'm more functional than I was before my hip surgeries.

We'll have to discuss my knee issues and see if my hip surgeon feels that my hip is strong enough to support me through another surgery so soon.
