Good Report!

Mike and I just got back from the doctor's office for my 2 week follow-up. I had x-rays taken again and saw the proof that I actually have a new part inside me! :) The hip looks great and the incision looks really good too. I got the steri-strips taken off and just a few more put back on. No more bandage needed to cover it!

I will be going back in about 4 more weeks to meet with the surgeon. He will do an assessment to make sure that the 50% weight restriction can be lifted at that time. Once he gives me the green light, I'll be able to ween myself off of the walker and crutches!

In a couple of weeks I should be able to drive again or maybe sooner if I'm off the pain meds before that and I feel comfortable with it. Also in 2 weeks, I'll be able to ditch the stockings that I have to wear every day! YAY!!!

Overall, great report and it felt good to get out of the house for a little while. I am, however, tired now again and think I'll be trying to take a little nap here soon. :)

I am praising God for His healing power performed through me and I give Him all the glory for bringing me this far! His Hand has been on my hip throughout all of this and I am very thankful for that!

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts offered up for me and my family too. They are so much appreciated... I can't even begin to explain the peace and comfort that comes from having prayer warriors lifting me up! Thank you again!!!!!

Love you all!
