This has been a fun and challenging week for me. Michael had sx on his hip this week. He has been in pain for about two years now. For those of you that don't know, Michael is a Military Policeman and served in Iraq for 14 months in 2006. He sustained some back and hip injuries while over there. After a long fight with the VA Hospital trying to get him better, we decided to seek outside help through a local orthopedic doctor through our own insurance. The outside orthopedic doctor found that michael had a tear in his hip and some bursitis and advised that he have surgery. He said that to have bursitis in his hip as young as he is was very rare. We went ahead and got a second opinion through another local doctor. He too said the same thing. We decided to go ahead and do the surgery, which was done this past week. Michael already feels ten times better and he is only 4 days post surgery! He is not able to walk on it for several days, which makes me now a mother of 4! lol. I get to mow the lawn today, which i am so exited about (not really) and have had to take on a really big load, but it is so worth it to see that my husband is already feeling so much better and not in the pain he was in!
This is what he has got to do for the last week! He is actually bored out of his mind! He has been playing alot of wii sitting down and watching alot of movies.
This should leave a nice scar!
