I felt so silly because you know that little test they do on babies to check that their hips and knees are working...yeah, he did that to me. Here I am on my back and my legs are moving every which way and "pop pop pop" goes my hips... and I'm thinking..."where the heck did that come from?" Then he informed me I also had Congential Hip Displacia after I mentioned I was born without the cartilage fully formed in my hips and had to be in a brace thingy for a year.
It all sounds so technical and bad, but I guess a lot of people, especially woman get this "runner's knee" thing. So knowing that, and knowing that most people see great results just from physical therapy alone is assuring.
So....yay! =)
Oh, and I sent the blanket, so now I can show it.
I did a horrible job on keeping straight stitches, so rick rack came to my rescue to cover that up. I'm pretty pleased with the result.

what a beauty! i am determined to be crafty someday. also, what a relief about the no surgery, but hopefully the next six weeks or so will be a breeze. hearing this makes me want to take up walking instead of running. risky.
Wait - mom and dad never told you that you had Congenital Hip Displacia? Good grief, if it wasn't for your displacia, I never would have gotten those extra pics of Hayden pre-birth. Weird.
By the way, awesome job on the blanket. I really like it. Hint. Hint.
I knew that I was in a brace for a year because of lack of cartilage but I didn't know the official name of that problem or that it was common and genetic. No one ever told me why and how and all that information.
