got a phone call

[mdakota]

as alot of you know. i freaked after i was postponed. my biggest worry was that it threw my leave time off and i was tired of being in pain. that grinding constant grit your teeth if you just try to sit, pain. well today i'm so proud.
i'm not in pain in the right hip, but the left is still at its end. now its always been harder for me to justify the right. but as i've said to many others this is progressive and will not get better and i have to say i dont want it getting as bad as the right i risked nerve dammage. so today i was talking to my frieng/or nurse who said os got a report from my pt and he is fine with setting the date for the next surgery. yall i'm so happy.
this step was one we agreed would only be taken provided i was doing my part and there were no complications.
i feel like the world just came off my shoulders. i used to call the pt, organized torture with physical terrorists but you know when you have a good joint to work with its alot more like a good work out. i love it.
just wanted to let you know
monique

Monique....what wonderful news. You have come so far and now the REAL end is in sight. Hooray!!!! Let us know when the big date is, okay? It's all coming together just like it should, isn't it!

 

[Judles]

Hooray!!! When's the date? Before you know it, Monique!

So happy for you, Monique!:D Checked out your blog, too - pretty cool! That's a mighty good looking family you have! Are those your toes under that pink blanket in the family picture?:p

 

[mdakota]

lol. you know i need to check on the toes. i didnt know when i got out of surgery my foot would point straight up. if i did i would have gotten a pic of the duck look , i sit and everyday am amazed that my foot points straight. it even goes up straight when we practice on the step. it is so cool

i have to wait to get the date but when i do i'll let everyone know. to hear those words out of his mouth though is so nice.

 

[Judles]

Good luck, Girl! You will be great!!!

The toes, thats to cute......yep gotta post that pic. Good luck as well on the other hip then you will be brand new.

 

[mdakota]

ok this is a little silly but you can see how my right foot is straight and my left turns out. i spent most of my life having my feet sandbagged for xrays just to hold them this straight.

 

[Josephine]

Well, to me it looks like your right foot is turned in and your left is straight!

 

[mdakota]

i'll have to keep the pic and take another once the other is done. my little girl did a video at pt so i can show some of the exercises for others.
