Gimping Along

Well I am all gimpy for a while! My surgery went okay. I had a surgical nurse Thrusday night try to pull a fast one on me! She found out real fast I dont' feed into bullshit. My doctor's office called and asked me to show up a half hour earlier then 6:30 am yesterday because they planned on running early and could get my surgery done an hour earlier. Then this Surgical nurse calls at 7pm Thrusday night going well they pushed you back and you shouldn't come in till about 7 or so. Kiss my ass bitch! I don't care if you want to move someone up before me or not my ass is coming in when my doctor told me!

Paid off I got in right on time and was out of the hospital by Noon yesterday. They cleaned out the bone spures and realized that even though I had a ton that wasn't what the main issue was! Nor was it major tears in my cartilege! I have a condition that is normally not seen in 40 year olds or younger! My cartliege is pulling away from the bone and rotten away basically! Lovely huh! So the doctor cleaned up as much as he could with the cartlige and once I am healed up somewhat I get to start another form of medication to try and get my cartilege to repair itself!

I forgot my crutches at the house but that is okay I haven't really needed them. I have been pimping it with my Grandpa's old cane! Granted Grandpa was about 6'2" so it is a bit to long for me but I only need it for stablization. I am going to be drove crazy wiht the banage though! I have to keep it on till Sunday (tomorrow) and nothing but showers after that for at least a week. I already made Randy take the ace banages off and cut away some of the gauze that they put clear down my calf and ankle. He rewrapped it with one ace banage. I was so drugged up yesterday I slept most of the day away and still went to bed at 9pm.

Now I am the last one to get ready for taekowndo today. It is Bring a Buddy, Break a Board day and we have two extra kids joining us. Not to mention another couple of our friends meeting us there. After taekowndo DeLaney and her lil friend that is coming with us have a Birthday party to go too! Luckily Casey managed to talk her mom into going with us to Taekowndo so she said she would take the girls to the Birthday party and then bring them home! Yay me!

Don't for get all you Pagans, Spiritualist, and non main stream Religion folks, it is Pagan Pride Weekend! Bust out your Purple and Pinks and get to wearing them! Randy bought me some purple ribbon but I didn't get a chance to get it on the cane so I will be wearing what ever!:D I usually just adverstise myself with my ink and necklaces!:D All the time!

Re: Gimping Along

You and I aren't fat! We are thinly challenged!

And dance and marching ban can be jsut as hard on knees as any sport! Especially if you get wrangled into marching with a barrotone sax, a tenor sax, and an alto sax every other time ya marched!

Re: Gimping Along

I marched with a barintone. You know, the instrument that looks like a big trumpet in marching band form, but a small tuba when you play it in concert band. I know that horn was about 20 - 25 lbs!

P.S. At least your legs look nice and toned. I wonder if mine could ever look like that again.

Re: Gimping Along

Oh yay my grirl Cindy marched with the barintone! That was her concert and jazz band instrument! That thing isn't light!

And thank you! And yes your legs will look that toned again also. I am hoping that I don't loose anything out of my legs after getting them back into shape with this surgery! I found a really fun and kewl walking dvd workout! I'll go look up the name and post it! It is def something even the mini coco goddess will do with ya!
