I saw the Dr. yesterday for my hip and new X-rays were taken. Well, lo and behold I have a fracture on the outer edge of the hip! Nothing to do about it except back off on some of the exercises and return to using my walker! I had recently been getting around with a cane only and occasionally without anything (only in the kitchen!). Following that appt shoehorned myself back into my car and my daughter and I went to lunch. All the walking and in and out of the car caused a LOT of pain! So back on the narcotics, icing, and taking it easy. Nope, no driving for me. Crap! I hate to be dependent on others for everything! At least I can reach the pups to hook up their lead lines for their potty breaks. Well, back to knitting and endless games of online Gin Rummy. Throw in a few books too!

Oh, bummer!
Take care, feel better soon.

 

[ade]

Bummer, indeed! Hope you mend soon! Try to relax and mend over this busy season!

 

[kaypriest]

Best to take time to heal, even if it goes slowly, or else could be like a family member here who had a do-over on shoulder surgery as he couldn't slow down.

 

[Vickie P]

Just a little bump in the healing process...

 

[MMWRay]

Got a healing delay. This too shall pass. You have done so well you are a role model for the rest of us.

 

[StitchNStash]

A bit of a setback, but you will get there by taking one little step at a time. Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy in the meantime!

Your daughter depended on you from whence she was born - your turn now......it won't be forever....happy knitting (of the fracture).

 

[Stablebummom]

For sure! I taught her how to put on shoes and tie them, now she's doing it for me!

Dang it. Well take it easy and don’t go stir crazy. Hope it heals well.

So sorry! Hope you recovery quickly.

my dental surgery was three weeks ago yesterday and it will be another three weeks before I am allowed off the soft food diet. And still numb and in pain. Such is life for me.

 

[Morgan Girl]

Well, that is a bummer! Do have a care and slow down some. I know it is hard to do, but don't want to prolong the healing any more than need be. Hope that your next checkup shows much better results.

Healing takes time and patience lol. The end goal will be worth it. My hubby had both hips done six months apart. We both had our moments, but, he successfully healed and life was good! Hang in there Stablebummom, you got this.

 

[Maw Maw Judy]

Follow drs orders to the letter and rest. That is when our body heals. Praying for recovery to be soon and uneventful.

 

[Ladyj960]

Take care and give it time

 

[mboemi]

Resting is sometimes a very difficult thing to do! That's your job at the moment though 😖.
To quote my mother "this too shall pass". ❄

 

[Crochetnknit]

What a bummer!!!! I feel for you. I'm also one to rush things. Have learned that many times that only delays things. Lessons that come with "the school of hard knocks".

good luck for your healing and getting off the pain pills without damage.

Sorry to hear that, I'm afraid too much, too soon.
My aunt had a replacement this summer and was so proud of herself telling the physio she was walking around with only her cane, she got a right royal telling off!!!!

Hope you heal quickly.

Unfortunately we don’t heal quite as fast as we used. Take care, slow and steady.
