"Hey everyone, just an update on where I'm at. I went in for surgery at 1:00 today, where they put me to sleep, they tested my hip in all positions and it was perfect. Originally it was thought to be unstable and needed surgery to keep it in. I woke up 45 mins later to news that it is really good and requires rest for a few weeks and then rehab. Thanks for all your support over the past few days. BT"
