Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).

[THEFERMANATOR]

Well I've been having some hip trouble here lately so I got into see an orthopaedic for it today. Says I have a hip impingent and a labral tear. I had basically destroyed my femur back in 01 in a car wreck, and he said this all goes back to that accident. The 1st rod they put in back in 01 broke at 11 months so in 02 they replaced it with an oversized and did a bone past graph to fill in the voids in my femur. The head of my femur didn't heal back correctly and has been cutting away at the cartilage and soft tissue in my hip, and now they want to go in and do a reconstruction of it essentially to shave the bone down, repair the cartilage, and try to clean and repair the soft tissue. So it looks like Christmas break for my wife will be taking care of me and our son as the doc says I will be on crutches for a minimum of 4 weeks. FUN FUN FUN. this one is my hip in 03, and the 2nd one is of it today. The pics aren't very good, but it didn't look good in person comparing them.
