Hello.
I am 26 years young. I'm from St. Helens, in the North West of England, and have lived in Liverpool for 18 months with my boyfriend of 5 years, Andy. I work as a physiotherapist.
I am two weeks away from a right triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) at The Royal Orthopaedic in Birmingham, UK.
My blog is for anyone that is going through their own journey of hip dysplasia and peri-acetabular osteotomy (PAO) or TPO surgery... Known as "hippys" on the support groups.
Reading blogs in the lead up to my surgery has helped to prepare me mentally and practically, and inspire me to be positive and focused in my journey. I hope by sharing my own personal story I can do the same for others.
Today is 1st January 2016 and my goals are to be healthy and happy. I know I have a tough year ahead of me but I'm so excited to get back to things I love - pilates, exercise, dancing with friends, shopping, city breaks, and eventually snowboarding!
Feel free to message me on Facebook if you'd like to chat more :) And follow me on Instagram for more photos of my recovery:
