Animal Smiley 019 Legg Perthes

Has anyone else heard of Legg Perthes resolving itself after a year. My pup is 11 months old and has been diagnosed. Vet wanted to do surgery right away. However, as time goes on she seems to be using her leg most of the time and only occasionally squeaks (she does that if she gets nervous, scared, or stressed so you can't always tell if something hurts her or if she's expressing her dislike).
I'm terrified of the surgery and have a hard time trusting vets who seem to run convenience offices. In other words, they see you when it is convenient rather than when there is a need. I can't even get hold of my vet half the time and have to drive 30 miles to a very expensive emergency clinic when the need arises.
There, I've vented and I feel much better. Anyway, I would appreciate your comments on the Perthes resolving at a year question.
