The day was not going well already. I folded two baskets of clothes and then put the baby down for a nap. I was laying down myself when it started. Unbearable stabbing pain in my back. I screamed and cried in my bed for awhile and then I got up to go to the bathroom and my hip got in on the act. It was a miserable day, but I kept telling myself it's not much longer.
Wrong.
The doctor told me when I scheduled the surgery a month ago I'd get a titanium on titanium hip and I might need to be custom because of my size. Wednesday when I discussed the surgery with the PA she also said it would probably be custom. The doctor's office called this afternoon and said we have to put off the surgery. WHAT!?!?
Apparently, it was confirmed without a shadow of a doubt that I need a custom hip. She informed me I have to have a CT scan (yup 72 MORE hours of pump and dump) because my x-rays, etc weren't sufficient to make the hip. So I have to go Tuesday have another test, more needles and wait again for the report and follow-up appointment with doctor before we can re-schedule. It's going to take between 2-4weeks for the hip to be made!! WHAT!?!?
He still won't give me anything for pain so I finally called my OBGYN and explained the situation. Hopefully they'll take pity on me and give me something to get me through.
I can't do this for 4 more weeks! I don't wait to pump and dump for 3 days again! I don't wait more needles and tests! I don't want all my plans postponed! I hate the whole world right now. I've had ENOUGH.
I just read your blog in reverse order. Go and read what you wrote about "motivation". Inspiring Katie. You are strong, and you darn well know it. Riley is a lucky little girl to have such an amazing woman as her role model in life. My thoughts, prayers, good energies are all heading your way. Be well, and don't forget to breathe.
