As a birthday present I received tickets to the Canada v. USA Rugby Game at the Tim Horton's Field in Hamilton on June 24, 2017.  I originally was not going as I wasn't sure where I would be in my recovery, but, because my boyfriend is awesome, he got me tickets once he knew I [...]

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I’m 32 years old.

When I was 28 I learned that I was born with severe hip dysplasia, after years of chronic pain.

At age 29 I was told I require bilateral hip replacements.

So at 30 years old I had total hip replacements with bone grafts in October 2016 (right hip) and May 2017 (left hip).
