wow, i had a different congenital condition but had three of those ilizarov contraptions, three hip grafts and many other "experimental surgeries". it was the 80's/early 90's, now it's down to a fine art. when i was a teenager i was terrified of having my leg amputated (it was always something they talked about) but looking back i think it could have saved some grief. or maybe it would just be a different kind of grief.

i wish i had known people like yourself when i was a teenager and felt like i was the only one going through this sort of thing.

oh totally, i'm not complaining!! having those experiences makes you who you are and i'm awesome and i'm sure you are too!

high five to you for all the sports!
