The image ( a drawing of a photo of my left hip scars) is a photo of my Anti Journal. Not sure if you can read, but the prompt is : zoom in a part of your body. I didn't want to make it an eye or something easy, I wanted it to count as journaling from the heart as I tried with most of the journal, so I decided to scrap my left side scars, from the first operations, from when I was born (1958) until when I was 5, in 1963. I was born with bilateral femoral dysplacia, I didn't walk until I was 5 and had 9 operations until I was 8, because the femur kept coming out of the socket and doctors told my parents again and again that they didn't think I would ever walk...I always said I was made fueled by Faith, my parents kept with all theirs and I proved all doctors wrong by having a fully mobile life, until 2003 when I went to have a routine hip replacement that went horribly wrong and 4 operations that follow failed to fix the initial error. The new ones (scars) are nothing like the old ones, as I made keloid and also as I was growing up everything stretched but the scars held the tissues around the hip scar in two separate bits.... which meant I had to learn to live with not only the scars but the fact that tight clothes show the two different parts... not sure how to explain, I will try take a photo. I am gonna make a page with the photo I took to make the drawing above, it was some 15 minutes of body contortions until I was able to take the photo LOL anyway, thing is, even though I rarely ever tale photos of me in a bikini or ever wear tight clothes that show my hips, I learned to love these, as they define me... people sill look in the beach, children are fascinated by the crutches so I think they miss them LOL but I adapted and learned to live with them, The idea was that after doing the left leg replacement, the surgeon would do corrective surgery to make the contour of my hips normal....but as they failed in the right leg replacement and I made them stop when they wanted to operate for the 5th rime.... I never got to itr... and now I wont go into operating room unless is vital, mainly because of the heart failure, but at this point in life I learned to love every bit, or disguise what I don't feel comfortable with !!!
TFL!!!!!
