Dec. 11th, 2014 10:48 amMy surgery to repair the labral tear is scheduled for 1/2/15.
I was cautioned of the following side effects:
1. Possible nerve damage, loss of use of the leg etc. Highly unlikely but possible.
2. Numb penis and testicles! They jam a pole up in there to pull the ball and socket apart / so I don't slide down the table. Numbness is normal, not permanent, and should not effect function.
3. Holy god pain and lack of mobility. Living on the 4th floor without stairs was not recommended.
Surgery on 1/2/15, a Fri, first post-op appt is Mon at 3pm.
I am fucking terrified. Kirstin sent me a good link to info/tips on the surgery:

It's concerning.
