outside

I am going to leave my house for the first time since last Wednesday. I mean I have not stepped outside AT ALL in a week..not even a toe outside. Talk about cabin fever. I am used to at least leaving to take Princess to school or pick her up but I can't drive so I have not ventured outside at all..not even to get the mail.

I so need some sunshine on my face.

ugh

One week with my new hip and I am already SICK and TIRED of using a walker..UGH.

I have the best husband in the world. He puts up with me and my stubborness. So I am home from the hospital. Have a new right hip, walker, and a bedside commode. Always was griping that I wanted a second toilet..but not sure if this is exactly what I wanted..LOL



Survived the surgery very well. Pain is really not that bad..and if it is..there is always Percocet. Guess the pain before the surgery was preparing me for after surgery.

Now I just want to nap all the time. Power of positive thinking is still going. My body will heal quickly and then I will have the other hip done.

Home

Home sweet home..it is a wonderfull place.

alive

I am alive AND have a brief Internet connection!! All is very well.

DOS

Today is the day I get a new right hip. Hopefully home on Wednesday. I am going in with only positive thoughts. Breathe...pray..

A month

So I have been slacking off in blogging..it has been a crazy time. In a nutshell...hip replacement surgery scheduled for 8/31/09, lots o freak moments, being a mom, back to school shopping, banking blood for surgery, working, dr appts, working, school started, training sister and her wife to cover for me while in hospital, freaking out about being in hospital for 2-3 days, working, being a mom and realizing that my baby and hubby will be on their own for 2-3 days, freaking out about missing family while in hosp, etc...

So that about sums it up... Other than the whole anesthesia and risks of a major surgery...uh oh I feel another panic attack...
