When I was eleven I suffered from a trauma caused by a condition I didn't know I had, called SCFE this caused my hip to dislocate after a minor fall but also, to break leaving some of it still attached to my Pelvis. As a result I had to have some metal put in me as well as in my other hip to prevent more trauma. Unfortunately for me, the scar from the trauma operation is big and ugly and has become something I'm really self concious about. I want to hide it with something beautiful as a symbol of moving on, my Step-Mum suggested a Dragonfly, so this is my first attempt =)

I don't mind answering at all, I suppose the answer is yes, I can't really run very well but I think that's more to do with being unfit, but if I'm late for a bus I can run after it. I also have a job at a restaurant, bar tending and waiting on my feet backwards and forwards for hours on end. The trauma leg was reattached a little wonky (it was the best they could do) so if I'm not paying attention, too drunk to care or am at home I walk a bit funny. It gets embarrassing if someone notices what I call my 'real walk' but it's easily corrected. In the winter they get cold because of the metal and I stiffen up and hurt sometimes but it isn't that bad. So yeah... I'm basically normal, I'm lucky the operations worked the way they did, any problems they give my I can get around which is why I want to put it behind me and move on :)

Don't worry, you could always take some pain killers to knock you out while you get it, or some sleeping pills or whatever. -Peyton
