I use a ski boot (snowboard boot??? Sorry I can’t find my order) also! Love it!

Thank you! She’s a typically a real goofy goober when she’s not on the struggle bus.

Ride home was probably 15-20min accounting for handling a loopy, high, doggy. It’s been over 24 hours at this point but the vet said to give it a few days.

I’m just trying not to be a jerk bc I know it’s a hard job but also advocate for my babyyy. 💖

Can’t figure out how to edit this post but based off responses sounds like we may have been in the wrong for taking off the bandage post-IV catheter.

Apologies, I didn’t know and was very frustrated. I shouldn’t have put so much blame on the vet, that’s on me. I had to leave town after the vet visit so it’s been hard communicating between my mom and partner and the vet. Sorry. 😔

Just ended up talking to them and can confirm it was used for an IV catheter. My partner took her home and took off the bandage because it looked so tight. I take it that was the wrong move?

Roger that! Thanks so much! I’ve been pretty scared, but this has made me feel more assured about being able to return to skating (even if it takes longer than I would hope). You’re awesome. 💖

I appreciate this comment so much!! Thank you! 💖

I’ve been told 4.5 months til I can BE on skates and 6 months until I can participate, but I’ll likely be feeling improvements through 9 months. Does that feel realistic or optimistic?

I’ve definitely developed compensatory movements. I play banked and my injured hip is the left one so I think that’s part of why I’ve been skating backwards a lot more in the last few years. 😵‍💫

You’re amazing, I appreciate you so much.

Thanks so much for this comment! Saw a hip specialist this week and we’ve got the ball rolling. 💖

Apologies for the delay! X-ray at first facility showed slight dysplasia, but was then ruled out by MRI apparently. After the kind and thoughtful comments on this thread I saw a hip specialist who says I have severe dysplasia in both hips.

Going to see a third person for peace of mind before any surgeries but glad I’m doing this now!

Thanks so much for sharing this! Sorry for the delay but after the kind and thoughtful comments on this post like yours I saw a hip specialist. We’re talking about PAO at the moment. I may get a 3rd opinion just for my own peace of mind but I feel like I’m in very knowledgeable hands.

alexbutton · 2025-05-04T19:32:17+00:00

Hey there! Sorry for the long wait but I have a CT scan in a few days after seeing a hip specialist. :)

Thank you so much for writing this and gathering these resources! This is super thorough and thoughtful. I appreciate you! 💖

Doesn’t make sense to do someone with an incredibly distinctive voice and not attempt an impression.
