Walking without a hip joint

My hardware was removed. I have no hip joint because it was destroyed by the recalled implant.
I cannot bend my leg, it’s shortened and I cannot sit.
I am awaiting another surgery to rebuild my acetabulum or hip socket in a few months. I’m in pain daily but I am coping in the hopes this next surgery works do I can walk again.

I’m willing to help others because my unique situation I have not found anywhere.
The surgeons I’m told are discussing my case.
In the meantime I’m trying to figure out keep myself stimulated, spirits up, and continuing to be that helping human I was before in a supine position. Not being a tv person isn’t on my list of to do’s. 😊
