and now the rest of the story.... 4/24/2009

Well the time is here i've gotten to the point i dont have good days . my activities are limited so much that all i do is work and come home and supervise from the couch. my kids are proficient sandwich makers and frozen meal chefs because there are days that cooking after work is just not something i can get too. i set the date for my surgery yesterday. its june 8th. i think each day is going to be a little harder and easier at the same time now. i know there is an end in site but its just out of my reach. my left leg is spasaming at night i rotate from side to side just to feel some relief . we agreed that as long as i recover well i can have both hips done the left 4-6 weeks after the right. he said that was my out. i told him that was his out. i'm ready. i'm a planner so i have all my info and now i'm ready to get to work. its hard for me to understand he is worried about me not having a good leg to stand on while one heals. my point is i dont have a good leg. at least with surgical pain i know the work is mine to do. i'll have a full range of motion. more then i've ever had. all i can think is if i can go on with what i have, having both done at the same time leaves me at an advantage not a disadvantag. its like putting a new tire on and saying wait till next year and well change the other one too. let me tell you this gremlin is about to turn into a mustang. because lets face it piecing together a gremlin will never get you as much as adding a coat of polish to a mustang. i've had the gremlin way to long and its time for a upgrade.
