I was talking to my friend today who was telling me about someone she met over the weekend. This lady was Grandmother to a 2 year old, who was shortly to be coming out of a splint having had a metal plate put in her hip. The Grandmother was very worried as the consultant had told them all that it was likely that the girl would need a hip replacement by the time she was 18 years old. The worry was regarding the hopes that the family had for thier girl to attend University and they were worried that this woud disrupt her at a vital point in her life.
My friend told them of my experiences and whilst we won't ever know how serious the little girls conditin was in regards to mine, the Grandmother was apparently suitably re-assured.
You never really consider the worry of those around you in a situation like this, but having my own child now, it must be so hard watching your little one go through that and I have been told about how my Grandfather spent every spare moment by my hospital bed after I had my operations. Let's hope they felt heartened by what my friend told them.
