Why a Blog?

I decided to write this blog, as I thought it would be helpful to other families who have a child with Perthes Disease. It is an honest diary of events and feelings.

Hope it helps,

Today was Bells pre-assessment for her operation


Went to hospital for Bells pre-op today. Was pleasantly surprised by the information I gained. Mr Price initially had told us that Bell would be on crutches for up to 8 -10 weeks after the operation to remove her pins and plates, with a stay or 5-7 days in hospital.


Now Mr Price does have the habit of changing the info he gives us and true to form, he told me that she should be out within 2 3 days after her op and will only need crutches in the first instance for comfort. What fab news!!!!


The only down side was Bell getting upset about the needles again, but she will be having gas first, so is relieved. :)


The op will be on 13th July x
