After 9 long months, I will be having surgery on May 12 to repair my broken hip. They will do a bone graft and total hip replacement.I have just begun to feel better, walking better with crutches, no longer taking pain pills, & moving around more, so I am kind of sorry to give all that up again. But I will be very happy to be on the other side of this and I am looking forward to walking on my own again, hopefully within the next 6 months.
I have needed a lot of help over the past 9 months, and it was a good lesson to teach me how to ask and accept it. I have always been the caretaker, not the one needing it, and I was too proud to ask. Throughout all of this time, I learned that there were people who needed to help me as much as I needed their help. This has been a very humbling experience and I will always be grateful for the life lesson.
I am ready to fight to gain back what I've lost to deconditioning. My doc already has told me I have an excellent attitude and will do well surgically so it's onward I go!
I'll see you on the other side of this.
