After attempting to wear heels this Tuesday I now know it’s no longer for me. I fell and I’m still sore from it now, in the rights thigh, where it often flares up. And also in my hands as I put my hands out stupidly. Knocked my confidence for sure, as I even had my walking stick. Definitely think the leg length caused an issue there in the falling incident.

Had a realization that I’m unlikely to ditch the walking stick while I don’t have insoles in, and even then it’s needed to keep me stabilized. Or at least my husband’s arm. I get stuck in denial at times that I’m fine, but when I look around me, no one is struggling like me, and that’s when it’s hammered home. While I’m super grateful to not have arthritis pain in hips anymore, I still have a dysplasia ruined body, and limitations to mobility. Hip replacements have given me a lot of life back, but I’m not ‘normal’ and how I was before all my hip surgeries.

Still waiting to hear from the CT scan and their opinion on it, but I think I need to tell them it’s effecting my balance and ability to judge things. Just after Christmas I have an appointment for some custom moulded insoles which should help.
