So, I've left the house a few times to combat the ridiculous boredom. Today I think I may have my parents take me to Walmart where I can ride in one of those motorized shopping carts! The continuing theme...strangers see me on crutches and say, "oh no, what happened"? I reply, oh I had hip surgery this week..."but you're so young". Yes, that's right, I'm too young for this crap, agree. Thanks for pointing it out.
This morning I gave my Mother directions from the couch on how to get the little one to preschool. Totally feeling helpless. And, my 19 month old baby doesn't even acknowledge me anymore. He's learned he can't crawl up in my lap so he doesn't even try...sooooo terrible. He's usually a Mamma's Boy.
Therapy excercizes going great. I can tell I am stronger everyday. Especially engaging the hip flexor with heel slides, etc. Pain is good. I do have pain, but I'm hardly taking anything at all. No percocet last night and it is 9:30 am, my last naproxen was about 7 pm last night. So, i am probably feeling what is really and truly there. Achy groin pain, some sharp bone-like feeling pain. Resting with ice, pain level 1-2, on crutches probably 3-4. Only day 5 so that makes me feel very confident.
I still have intentions of posting the photos and video of the surgery for those of you who like that kind of thing...but I've been too lazy to do it. Will keep you posted as always!

I get that, "you're too young" thing all the time too. Hang in there.
The first 2 paragraphs I've said exactly the same, how reassuring! My Izzy puts her hands up to be pick up by our cleaner now before me!! Thats 2 months not picking her up!
Have you noticed yet that old men fancy there chances now and strike up conversions? I felt like saying 'my hips don't work, but my eyesights fine thanks!' Hehe It's all a whole new world!
My Izzy has been so sweet in taking care of me. She brings my crutches or anything else I ask, however, she also is getting a bit out of control because she knows I'm not up to chasing her around to discipline. Today we were in our yard and she wouldn't come and I shook a crutch at her and screamed, "you're gonna be in trouble when I get off these things", haha.
Haven't been hit on by any old men yet, but with the extra 20 lbs I'm already carrying around I'd probably get a thrill out of it, HA!! Good to have you girls to laugh with:)
