12 weeks yay!

Well I'm sorry for the long delay, I have been very busy with school and working full time now. Everything seems to be a lot better. I have had a trip to the doctor last week and got to see some of the hip girls. I have also been put in contact with a few new hippies, and they are actually close to me. I have been staying in contact with them and that has been nice as well.

As for seeing Scheid, he told me that I could go to one crutch for a few weeks then down to a cane. :) I was a little nervous because I didn't want pain to come back. I have been taking pain meds only at night if I am in a lot of pain. That has been nice but has brought out different aches and pains :( my back and other hip have been hurting sporadically.... and here within the past few days after starting to use the one crutch I have been noticing my knees have been hurting. I'm thinking its just because I have been off my feet for so long.

Just the other day I finally had time to get in the gym and that felt nice. I rode the bike for about 30 min and did a variety of weight machines for my legs. It felt great getting to do a little more but I paid for it later that night :( I know it will take awhile to get everything back to normal again which is okay but I don't wanna deal with pain forever. I'm starting to wonder about doing my other hip. I know that the doc said I could probably wait a few years but I'm not sure if I want to because I am so young now and I don't wanna have to worry about putting my life on hold when I'm just getting out of school to do it then. IDK if that's the right way to think or not....

I go back and see the doc on April 8th. By then I should be free of all help....

I will update if anything else happens..... I am glad that everything is starting to feel normal again. My life is almost back.... Now I'm just dealing with the everyday type of pain..

P.S. I'm have started a diet to try and loose some weight to preserve my other hip, I hope it works, wish me luck!!!!!

GOD BLESS ALL MY HIPPIES!!!!!!!!
