Finally received an email back today from the specialist's receptionist with a selection of dates to choose from for my next surgery.
I chose Thursday 27th August - little over 5 weeks away! So at least we have time to get things organised. It's in Christchurch again, back at Southern Cross Hospital.
I am looking forward to my screw removal surgery because things can't go the way the have been - it's just getting too sore however I am quite nervous as there is no way to know what is going to happen after the surgery. Crutches will be my friends again for a while and I can only hope the operation doesn't flare things up even more.
Winter is also taking it's toll - the cold is really not my friend and the past two nights the temp has got down to around -5oC!! The ground is still frosty white and it's lunch time.. brrrr.

Hi Nicola, just started following you. Sounds a struggle there...not that its been easy here. Are you wanting arthroscopic or open surgery...not that you'd want either!
I had hip arth for FAI pincer 4 days ago, it was interesting journey just getting to that point!

Nicola, do you have dysplasia as well as FAI. Will go back and read, but why couldn't arthroscopy fix it, bit scared now!

Nicola, I'm in the early stages of my hip impingement so I've scouring the internet for info and your blog is an incredibly useful resource for me.
