This morning I had my follow up appointment with Cory Weeks, one of Dr. Culp’s PAs. He asked if I had any questions and of course, I did. When I finished with them, he said, “Is that all?” Good! That didn’t make me feel bad for my concerns.
They took an x-ray and it looked good. I still don’t completely understand why the left hip was the one to hurt after surgery—something about how it was put in a stirrup and moved around when the right hip was repaired. The restless leg syndrome is because of the strain put on the muscles with surgery. I can keep taking the muscle relaxer I guess. Last night it was really a problem and I was not able to relax until it eased up—thanks to some drugs and a heating pad—borrowed from Jeff and Susan because ours died from overuse maybe!
So all good. Next appointment is April 13. So my goal is the “year of the hip” will be over by March 3. I may not be totally over all of this by that time but I am making progress.
I feel well enough to try to put out some inquiries about a way to celebrate our birthdays—they will be milestones this year.
