We spent the first 9 days of our vacation in CT and then Cape Cod. We had an awesome time seeing family and friends in CT. At the Cape we ate "wicked good" food like "lobsta" bisque, scallops, clam strips.... TJ and I rented bikes - mine had the seat for Reilly on the back and TJ's had the "tag along" 1/2 bike for Brady. We went for a bike ride every day and on Sunday TJ and I did about 15 miles!
I had my screw removal done yesterday and will fly home today. We arrived at Children's Hospital at about 11:15 - I had x-rays and then up to day surgery admitting. The procedure was scheduled for 2:00 - but Dr Millis was help up in another surgery, so I didn't go in until about 4:30. It didn't take long at all and I was awake! I was given a local and some sedation - but didn't fall asleep. I could hear and feel what he was doing - but it didn't really hurt, just felt uncomfortable. I got into recovery at 5:30 and was "awake and alert" and was able to leave at 6:00. TJ and I checked into a hotel here in Boston - and will meet my parents at the airport to get the kids. I was given crutches, but am thinking I can use my cane at the airport. I will post pics of the screws once I am home!

I had a PAO on my right hip 29 April 2008. I have been having a horrible time with recovery and after reading through your blog, I'm intrigued. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. They only cut your pelvis in 2 places? What made you decide to get your screws removed? You only had 3? Are you glad to have the screws out? Good luck down the road!
how long did it take to recover from the screws coming out? i got mine out yesterday and they still really hurt! So were you on crutches for a week or less or more? and then how soon did you start to exercise again?
The screw removal recovery was not long.... on crutches a few days... I believe I was exercising after a few weeks.
