5 & 6 weeks......








Sorry I haven't posted in 2 weeks... I have been very busy and just haven't got around to it. Things are going well. I applied for the guest relations position at my current work... the position consists of half marketing and half business work. I have been filling in for the last week and really enjoyed it so I applied and found out today I got the job.. YAY! Also the good part about it is that I can do it currently with my hip. Its alot of sitting and the part that isn't, well its not that big of a deal. I'm really excited and grateful because its 40 hours a week and I will be making good money. The best part is that they are flexible with letting my hip heal and it will be able to because its a mostly sitting job..

Well more to my hip:

Week 5: During this week I made a pretty big improvement. I was able to take a shower standing all most the entire time. I also am getting faster with my walker! Im so thankful that I don't have to give myself any more shots, that's a big deal..haha.... Things are slowly improving now... I can pretty much get myself into the car alone but sometimes need some help... I have been sleeping a little better... But not much.... schools still the same...boring and long :( One thing that is starting to effect me alot is the fact that it seems like not alot of people understand.. or seem to be my friend any more... not sure really why but I am assuming its because "its not convenient for them" idk. Well I stayed almost the entire week at Kiel's house because he was taking me to work and class... his house is only about 10 min. away from my work so that's good...I also was able to get myself into bed alone :)

Week 6: I officially stood in the shower the entire time without sitting.... I also was able to sit Indian style and cross my legs.... I'm not really sure if I am supposed to but I did and that's a big deal for me because I always cross my legs haha....idk! I am a little ticked that I am going to be behind because my doctor isn't in the office this week for me to get evaluated... My doctors office here said they sent out my X-rays last Tuesday but no answer yet!! I just am upset I guess because I cant put weight on my leg or drive until I see him on feb. 4th that's my 7wks. 2 days.... I just wish he would be in the office and available when he is in need.... it really frustrates me... Also he frustrates me with what he does to my friends.. but that's a different story. O well! I have been having some problems sleeping again... also I have became very sad and mad alot... Its kind of extreme at times... idk I guess its stress of everything, not sure.... I hope things start to head up for me really soon! I ask that you all can pray for my family and some relief with our problems.... Thanks!

I am excited to start therapy this week though. I am ready to regain full use of my leg again and to be able to actually walk again. I have my first evaluation today! Which is 01-26-10!

Bad news is my parents are paying Cobra through this whole process and it is starting to become very expensive.... :( and we don't know how much longer we will be able to keep it...

Good news is that with this new job I can get my own insurance but it wont take effect on May 1st! Also I am soooo excited to get to see all of my wonderful hip friends....:) I am actually staying with one of them the night before my apt....so we all will be able to visit :)

I just wanna say a little prayer for all of my other hip friends.... it seems that alot of them are experiencing bad and hard times in there lives right now so I just wanna pray that they will get some relief soon!

I will update pictures very soon.... I have alot up already on my face-book and will put them up on here asap....

I will write as soon as more happens!
