Hello all, it has been a very long time. I am so sorry for the long break. I have had so many personal, and physical challenges, still recovering from them all. It has been a serious work in progress, mentally, physically, emotionally.
In August, I went in and had a total right hip replacement including a pelvis reconstruction, and right hip socket, and metal bar placed in my femur. Also the discovery of a major health condition called hip dysplasia. My left hip also needs to be replaced. Not in as bad shape though. Honestly, I thought it was a back issue. I literally learned of this a few weeks before my surgery.
I have never had major surgery before. The not knowing was terrifying. The after effects more then I’ve ever experienced. Pain, I thought I had control of, became a new kind, then phantom pains, crazy weird ones. tightness in my stitches and muscle spasms. Not strength in my limbs. Then sickness because of pain meds. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions, depression, and struggles.
It has taken a wonderful support system found in family and friends to help me get through all the rough spots, and down days. Lots of coffee and humor have been involved. Including streaming services and binge watching. I am grateful that I have had all of these things to help me in this difficult times.
I am happy to say I’m on my way to a complete recovery in health mental, and physical, emotional still in progress. I’ll keep you posted. Life and writing are a work in progress…(just like me)…😉
