Sonja's Recovery


Sonja is in the hospital recovering from a long planned hip surgery which is called Femoral Varus Derotational Osteotomy or VDRO. It was a major surgery for her that will keep her hips from becoming dislocated and to create a more functional hip joint. She will need at least 6 weeks to fully heal before we can do the usual standing or range of motion exercises that she is usually used to.

Sonja has been sleeping a lot since her surgery and mainly it is due to the amount of muscle relaxants and pain meds she is getting. Nothing like a good sleep! Especially after everything she has been through!
