WOW it seems like so long since I have been here.
I have needed to journal for my own sake but just refused to do it.
I had surgery Aug. 26 to reconstruct part of my pelvis and have my hip replaced. Surgery went fine. An operation that usually takes 1 1/2 - 2 hours took 4 hours because of all the damage that had to be repaired.
I woke up with my leg in a knee immobilizer, wondering what the heck happened. My doc explained that a nerve was compressed during surgery and that the knee would be numb and not work properly for a while. But it will return to functioning, usually within 6 months. I sure hope sooner.
I have been dealing with the pain, the hip feels great,
and the disappointment of another delay in recovery. When does it ever end?
Had to force myself to do things for my own good instead sitting on a pity pot and not getting any better.
I know someday God will show me the purpose of all this but I am impatient and want to know NOW.
Thanks everyone for being there.
