All about the hip!.. and then some...

Wow... been a long time so lets get to it, k?!

Well the hip is doing great. I think I'm starting to get the feeling back in my leg because I get shots of pain up and down my leg and I'm starting to sense more touch to it so I hope that's a good thing! Haha! I'm full weight bearing now and I'm going to the gym a lot and I actually got on a treadmill last week for the first time, that was pretty exciting!
At my last appointment with my Dr. he said things were great and to come back in 4 months. We did talk about doing my other hip and when that would possibly be. We talked about doing it in December and that we would discuss it more in September when I see him again. Well, about a week after my appointment, I was talking with Jacob and the more I thought about it, the more I thought about having the surgery in September. My parents also thought that that sounded like a good idea to do it sooner rather than later, so I called my Dr and talked to his nurse practitioner and this is what she told me.
She talked to him and he said that if in my heart I feel fully confident in the surgery and I'm happy with how this past surgery went and I really feel like I'm ready in my heart and my body to do it again, he'll do the surgery in September. He said that a few years ago he would never do the surgery less than a year apart from each other, but because I healed so quickly, and he hasn't seen someone recover that fast, he would do it in my case.

So I'm calling tomorrow to see if he's free on the dates I have in mind, so I'll post later on if I actually get to set a date in late September.

And may I announce that in August, I'll be apart of the fist ever HIPPY UNION!!!!!!!!! (We are calling in a union, not a re-union because we have never met before...haha!) Myself-from Indy, Krystal-from Cali, Marci-from Michigan, Ashley-From Indy, Sabrina-from Indy, Jessica-From Indy,Courtney-from Indy, and possibly Nole and Amy-from Iowa and Stephanie-from Indy will be getting together to finally all meet! We're very excited for this meeting and we have big plans! We're going to Chicago for a couple days, then getting a hotel room downtown and all gonna party here in Indy for the weekend. It's gonna to be the union of the year!


Jacob and I celebrated our one year anniversary last weekend! We left for IL on Friday morning and spent the night in Gridley then Saturday morning we headed north to Chicago for the day! It was a great weekend :) We went to the museum for a few hours, then we went downtown and walked after for the rest of the afternoon. He then took me to Smith & Wollensky for an amazing dinner! I love him so much!

Well, not much more to update on but I'll update when I know more about my surgery date... Later!
