The first time I saw my THR x-ray I nearly passed out. I knew it was there but nothing could have prepared me for seeing foreign parts where my own body used to be. I've seen it twice since my 3 week post op last year - and I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
I'm Dee, 36 years old and based in central Scotland. My family joke that I am bionic but I really am !I had a total hip replacement (THR) done in January 2010 on my left hip after years of problems arising from hip dysplasia and this is my story.

ReplyDeleteExcept that it represents my pain-free life.
I know what you mean Kris - it took a few days to want to look at it which is weird but once I saw it, it wasn't as bad as I expected !
