Feeling good !

Tomorrow will be 3 months since my surgery to debride my labrum and to shave 3 bone spurs from my hip. Time flies so fast. It was a decision I will absolutely never regret.
I feel great today for a change. I am definitely feeling so much better and the pain is tolerable and even absent in places it recently had been. The tightness is beginning to settle in my hamstring and the pain is gone from my butt (today anyway). It's amazing the difference physical therapy has made in my life. The stretches I have been doing have helped tremendously and I hope to be done with everything soon and get back to planning for my right hip to get done.

They finally fixed the floors here at work yesterday and filled the gap with concrete and stretched the carpets. I am so thankful to not have to walk to my desk looking at the floor for the x's we placed to not roll into it again. Kevin left Friday but so far this week I am holding my own just fine. It is still extremely stressful not having someone to have your back when you need it, but like any other time I am a strong broad and I will muddle through the best I can.

My 38th birthday is coming up in a few days and I can't believe this is where I am in my life. No one really expects to be looking at hip surgery this early and I should really be out there still training for marathon's and playing baseball with my kids. I guess the whole experience for nearly a year now has made me strong but somewhat bitter. I did everything right. I stayed healthy, I played sports, I exercised and I tried to stay active ... in the end the result was the same. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. And like Louisa, my FAI buddy has shared, this has been the hardest year by far. I would like to think that giving up 2 years of my life to fix my hips will reward me with 30 of having a chance to be active and pain free again.
