    I had hip surgery

    I had hip surgery. It was one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever been through. The steroids I’ve had to take for my asthma/COPD caused me to have osteonecrosis of the hips. Basically, they killed my bone in the hip and femoral head and my bone died. I had a hip core decompression with a bone graph. They drilled into my hip bone and femoral head and removed the dead bone inside. I can’t walk or put any weight on my right hip for 4-6 weeks, so I have another 3 weeks left before my next doctor’s appointment. I’m not sure if I have to learn to walk again…
