Oh my.. where has the time gone?

Wow, I can't believe it's been since July since I last posted...

A lot more has happened than I want to share right now, but I'm staying busy with work, full time and I really enjoy it! jacob has been traveling... A LOT! Which sucks because we have to be apart, but at least he has work and it pays the bills. After it was all said and done, we were thankful his job didn't work out, and we know God has something better for us down the road. A few jobs are in the running, we just have to wait a while to see what happens.

I'm sooo excited that the Holiday season is upon us! I was in the store today and Christmas music was one and I was looking for some holiday crafts to start and I got so excited! I love this time of year :-)
I can't believe Jake and I are going on 9 months of married life! AHHHH!! We're getting close to one year! It feels like it's gone by so fast but at the same time, so much has happened since February. Hawaii, lived with friends for a couple weeks, moved to IL, started a job at 3 different stores, met some great people and started some good friendships, had an amazing summer in Chicago, Jacob got a new job back in Indiana, we found a house to live in, I got a job, we found a new church, went through a job loss, now he has has job traveling and working hard, all along with learning about married life and getting used to this new life with someone...
We've been through a lot more than people usually go through this early on in their marriage, and it's been a very hard, draining, emotional, and yet awesome 9 months... it's been a journey and we know we have more adventures ahead of us!

I know this is short but I'm pretty tired and I have to be up at 7. I'll try not to wait so long for another post!

I just found your blog as I was exploring blogs from people who have struggled with hip issues. I'm so glad to read you're doing so well. I'm going back and reading about diagnosis and treatments and whatnot. Thank you for posting such great info.

Surgery Info

Dr. Kevin Scheid will be the Dr. preforming the operations. The first surgery will be Friday, January 8th 2010 at 10:30am. The second Surgery is September 21st 2010 at 8am.

Congenital hip dysplasia is an abnormal formation of the hip joint in which the ball at the top of the thighbone (femoral head) is not stable in the socket (acetabulum). Also, the ligaments of the hip joint may be loose and stretched. The degree of instability or looseness varies. A baby born with DDH may have the ball of his or her hip loosely in the socket, the looseness may worsen as the child grows and becomes more active, or the ball may be completely dislocated at birth.
Left untreated, DDH or Congenital hip dysplasia leads to pain and osteoarthritis by early adulthood. Also it only occurs in about 1 in 1,000 births.
So it's something i was born with but just wasn't caught at birth.. Whats different in my case is my femur has been slightly flattened so rotating the cup will be a little harder than on someone else having the surgery.

A periacetabular Osteotomy- "Periacetabular" means around the acetabulum. "Osteotomy" means to cut bone. In PAO, the patient's own joint is surgically altered to create a broader load-bearing surface. During the surgery, the acetabulum is sawed apart from the rest of the pelvis, in a few places and is repositioned to cover the head of the femur, and secured with metal hardware. If necessary, the head of the femur is repositioned by surgery on the femoral neck.
