SO, I have two major milestones!
I had my last SHOT this morning!! I am super happy about that - and Joseph is even happier than I! I made sure this last one hurt really really bad and for a really really long time.
The physical therapist graduated me to my cute pink cane for OUTSIDE now too! I get to "walk" down the street to next intersection once a day. I am so happy to get rid of my bling crutches!
Tomorrow I go to doctor to see if he lifts any hip precautions from me. This 70 degree angle at all times is for the birds!
I am so looking forward to sleeping NOT on my back - probably not for 8 weeks - but still I can dream about it!
GROSSEST story ever: my sister in law has a friend who had a scheduled hip replacement same day as me. This week her hip fell out of joint, caused her to fall, was ambulanced to hospital, had surgery and is in a body cast for 6 weeks! ACK! PLEASE do not let that happen to me...PLEASE!
Oh yes - I almost forgot! I am UP as in out of bed MOST all day long now too! Got out of that bed today at 6:30am - hoping to make it until BED time to go back in. Oh what a relief - such a joy.
STILL - tomorrow I shall ask the doctor if it is feasible/reasonable to be able to WALK the half marathon that I was going to run on April 1. Oh I hope he says YES.....I promise I will follow all precautions! I will!
