Hello...is this thing on?

So this blog has been a long time coming. I read a lot of knitting blogs and now facing my PAO surgery I am reading fellow "hipster" blogs. Let me give you some background. I am 27 years old and I enjoy sports. I play tennis, mountain bike, kayak, hike, jog, go to the gym, and do whatever athletic thing tickles my fancy! I have never really know when to quit. When I am not going buck wild out doors, I am knitting. No knitting does not age me, just take a look around...there are many young and cool knitters. Knitting is not your grandma's knitting these days.

I am two weeks away from having my life changed dramatically (and hopefully for the better). On September 16th I will go in for PAO surgery to correct very painful hip dysplasia. I am scared shit less (yes there will be swearing in this blog...sorry I'll try to keep it to a minimum). I went today for my pre-op appointment. I came home and googled "PAO surgery" and could not believe the community of fellow PAOers. All of which have helped to ease my mind as a read them. So I figured I would return the favor and document my surgery from beginning to end of full recovery. On this blog you will read about the PAO surgery as well as my adventures in life and knitting. I hope you'll stay and read.
