Well here I go....my first attempt at blogging. Why am I doing this? Because I'm having hip resurfacing surgery soon and instead of wondering how things are going for me, you will be able to check in to 'All Hip and No Hop' (thanks for that, Tom) to check the status of.... stuff. I figure this way I'll also be able to vent all the frustrations of being immobile, albeit temporarily. Those who know me well know that will be the hardest thing of all.
I found out a few months back that I cannot/should not run any more because the pain I was feeling in my hip was indeed caused by arthritis and misalignment [feel free to suggest some optional - though impressive - medical terms here if you'd like]. After a visit to Dr. Barba at Rockford Orthopedic, I found out I am a good candidate for hip resurfacing. If you don't know what that is, read this http://www.rockfordortho.com/coe/hip_resurfacing.html.
Today I found out that my surgery will be on October 8. I have a lot to accomplish between now and then so that my business can run smoothly while I'm recovering.... and a lot more to do at the college so I can take a couple (?) weeks off.
SO....it's all Hip and No Hop!
