I'm Back
I guess if you check my blog frequently you have noticed I have not been here. Well I have been busy shopping, shopping, shopping. I went to Vinita for a week with my mom and then we came back. Yesterday I had my post op follow up appointment. I love my orthopedic surgeon more each day. Yesterday he told me my hips looked perfect. I have to follow precautions(don't bend down, sleep with a pillow between your legs, and use a raised toilet seat) for 6 more weeks and go in for another appointment at that time. We talked for a little while longer and as we were leaving we were talking about Miracles. Dr. T said this is a miracle only God could perform. He is so great and I love him. I am supposed to start working up to walking a mile a day. I had my dad set up my tread mill. I will keep you updated on how that goes. Bave a great day.

Major activities
Ok friends so here is a list of some major activities I have accomplished in the past few weeks.
1. Went to church
2. Walked to mailbox (lest you think that is a minor accomplishment I live in a neighborhood that has community mailboxes which means the mailbox is about 2 houses down and across the street from my house. Let's also remember I just had total hip replacement.)
3. Shopping, Shopping, Shopping
4. Trip to Vinita for 4th of July to meet Braxton Cole Harris (my cousin's new baby he is adorable)
5. Graduation from PT. No that does not mean you do not have to do PT anymore it just means that I don't have someone come in to the house to do it with me.
6. Going from the walker to the cane. Yay. It is so much easier for all of us now that we don't have to tote that walker around.
7. Major house declutter project. I am not a hoarder but I am a keeper so my mom has helped me declutter the house.
8. Major closet cleanout project. As I said in #7 I am a keeper and I had clothes I haven't worn in years and will not wear ever again so I have 3 huge bags to give to goodwill.
Things still to come
1. Bedroom and bathroom update. Some of the shopping was to pick up new bed and bath room stuff. I am redoing my bedroom in pink. I have this bedspread with a huge pink peony on it and pink sheets. I am redoing my bathroom in zebra and yellow. It is going to be super duper cute.
2. Trip to V-town to get my hair done, hear my daddo preach, and just hang out for several days.
3. POST OP APPOINTMENT AND RELEASE TO DRIVE.
4. School-that's right I go back on August 10th. that is just about a month from now.
To address the questions from the last blog. I will try to keep blogging after I am fully recovered but no guarantees. I am winning the skipbo and phase 10 tournaments but my mom is winning the cribbage tournament but only by a game or two. Keep reading and feel free to comment with questions.

Update:
Ok so if you read my blog you are probably waiting for an update. I have been waiting for something really exciting to happen so I could write a story but nothing is really new and exciting. Recovery has been much easier with one good hip and one recovering hip and I think I am about 2 weeks ahead of where I was last time with recovery. Basically my days consist of waking up, breakfast, PT, lunch, cards with mom (we are having a skipbo, phase 10 and cribbage tournament), Dinner, TV and bed. If you have a specific question leave a comment and I will write about it. Otherwise read all the fun from last time and that is pretty much parallel to this journey. Have a great day my friends.
