I saw my consultant yesterday about my hip, 6 months after surgery. (For those who don't know, in November I had surgery on my hip to repair damaged muscles) and he's told me that my hip is so damaged that it can't ever be "normal".
He's also told me that I shouldn't really drive. And I shouldn't attempt to take lessons for another 6 months and even if I do pass my test, I'm likely not to be able to drive for very long before the muscle cramps up and gets damaged.
I've been taking lessons since I was 19, I'm now 26 and I've had to stop so many times to have operations and this is another set back. All my friends can drive, and while I know it's not really a problem in a city, it's making me sad being the only one who still can't. My boyfriend's sister is 8 years younger than me and she's taking her test this week.

My parents never took me out to practice, which I don't mind so much as I don't think I'm a good student to be honest.
I know there could be way worse problems and I'm sways grateful that my hip is really the only thing really wrong with me health wise, it's just quite upsetting that this is another thing I can't do.
