Identified The Pattern Causing My Left Artificial Hip Malfunctions
[ Tuesday April 23rd 2024 at 3:07 pm ]

On April 10th my left artificial hip malfunctioned. This was a repeat of 3 previous instances. The pattern of what is causing the artificial hip to malfunction dawned on me. I recognized the pain I was feeling and the motion. I tried causing the hip to malfunction the following morning. I was able to intentionally cause it. I have avoided a specific movement over the past 2 weeks. This has been successful in proving I understand what is triggering the artificial hip to malfunction. When I had my assessment on April 9th the surgeon said if I could identify a predictable and repeatable pattern it would be a bone ailment. Otherwise it was likely a tendon or ligament that was slipping inside me. The idea of a ligament or tendon slipping inside of me doesn't make sense. The grinding noise I hear sounds like the grinding noise a mortar and pestle made in my grade 11 chemistry class. Even though my left artificial hip felt smooth during the physical examine on April 9th the surgeon won't be able to deny that somehow I am experiencing hardware failure. I am becoming increasingly concerned that when my right knee buckled on the last Saturday of November that my bones may have shifted inside of me and this is what is causing the damn artificial hip to malfunction. I want to be working on my projects. I want more for my life. I'm willing to put in the effort.
