Surgery

Glad I didn't have time to think about it!

The Monday after we spent the weekend in Florence

I had a doctor's appointment

I have been limping for about a year

and

it had gradually gotten really bad

my friends were asking

what was wrong

I had many thoughts about this

some silly and some scary

I decided to go to a chiropractor

to see if he could help

I went for 2 1/2 weeks

until

he told me I needed to go see a

orthopedic doctor

So, John wanted me to go see

the doctor that had operated on him

and his Mother

so

we went

that Monday afternoon to see Dr Bramlett

They did an xray of my hip and leg

before I saw the doctor

Dr Bramlett walked in

looked at me

and said

"hurts to walk, doesn't it"

well, he knew what was wrong

showed me on the xray

and said

you need surgery

NOW

so that Wednesday

I had my hip and leg operated on

at Brookwood Hospital

We got home to Berry that

night at 8:00

The first few days were painful

since then it has mostly been sore

and I am not sleeping because I

can't sleep on my side

I went back to the doctor Thursday

and

he said I was doing great

Even with still healing

and

all the bruising still on my leg

it feels better to walk already

Thank God

for

modern medicine!The gorgeous socks they give you

at the hospital

and

let you keep as a souvenir

Get Well cards

that Emma and Abby

made for me

Lawson came to visit me

and try to make me feel better

I had to cut out his face

because

to see his face

would mean that

you could see my face

and

it wasn't looking too good at this point
