A few days after surgery
Hey Everyone!! Thanks for checking in on me. It's been fun keeping up with people on Facebook but I've decided to do a post since I've been away so long.
My surgery was scheduled for March 6th but was delayed by 1 week due to the surgeon working on a trauma patient all night. It was an ugly phone call that morning as I had a lot of things ready to go (my mind being one of them) but I quickly decided whoever it was needed him more than I did (after a couple tears and some help from the Hub).
So I had arthroscopic surgery on my hip to repair the labral tear on the 13th. As it was explained to me, repairing this is a bit odd in that I am not a young athelete, but the surgeon wanted to do the repair to give me some stability for the Freakishly Flexible Joints. The repair is generally not done because there is little blood flow and it is difficult to heal. I'm finding that out.
if you follow the crescent that is the socket all the way out to the tip, you can see a white space that looks like the tip is cracked. that is the tear in the labrum.
I have a restrictive brace (6 wks) and crutches (3wks). I am about 12 days into that. I've had more pain than I expected or at least for longer. It is still bothersome to sit very long so I hang out a lot in bed with everything I need around me!! (books, mags, laptop, tv, phone, remote, movies, knitting, tray for food and drink, newspapers, purse for on-line purchasing - hee hee) (if anyone has fun websites to check out I'd love to get recommendations - nothing nasty please!) :D Actually nothing is very comfortable with the brace on all the time, but I am trying not to get too worked up about it. At least I can shower now!! I had to wait about 10 days until I got the stitches out. I just cleaned up and washed my hair in the sink. Weird, but I made it through that.
That's about all for now. I still have a little trouble with blogs. Every time I see a run or read a race report all I can think to comment is Lucky You or I'm jealous or something preachy like ENJOY IT, at least you are running. I figure people would get tired of that so I am trying not to do that too much. I guess I have a ways to go on dealing with the not running but I'll get there. I did meet the Tri coach at our gym and she gave me her masters swim work outs so maybe I will get excited about that when it is time to get in the pool. I don't think I even start any rehab until 6 weeks.

the brace. this will be the only time you will ever be granted a close up of my hips with no lipstick to bring your eye upward. the boobage will have to do. interestingly, that is my lair in the background. i can't for the life of me figure out how my crutches are clear over there. i haven't been cheating I must have slid to the egde of the bed and hopped into place but i don't remember doing it.
this is a picture of me showering...
what you can't see it? hee hee. jk.
I have never been so rested. Wow, 12 days mostly in bed. But, it has been the most comfy place so far and I have lots of stuff around me to do. I am reading 992 page novel, Pillars of the Earth. I never get time to read so this has been good! We did have poker last Friday and I made it down the steps and won the first game!!! (9 people, thankyouverymuch) We've had some dinners but mostly I hang out in the bedroom. One of the poker players nicknamed me Cyborg for all the metal. :D

I have knitted 4 scarves - they are an Easter Egg colors one with Fun Fur, a snow white fuzzy one, a ribbon one that is light and more for clothes accent than coat, and a big variegated brown and cream one for my mom. She picked out the colors. I didn't like it but it is what she ordered. My MIL thinks it looks like a stole (translation: dead animal). eeuuww.
The ribbon scarf up close. I haven't quite mastered good pictures of these like Running Knitter.
My boys tonight at bedtime. They've been great little helpers.

I'm glad you posted! Definitely happy I found you on FB. You are such a trouper. I know none of this has been easy. But you're making it. & you'll be stronger on the other side. Let me know how you like World Without End if you get to read it next.
I am wishing you a speedy recovery! That brace looks miserable, but the time will go quick. Just take care of yourself. We will be reading about your running adventures soon enough. For now, keep us entertained with the trashy stuff you find on the internet. : )
Have fun online shopping and reading.

I've been thinking of you, Nancy!
Knitting is good! I wish I could do that, but I don't even know how.
Hope you heal quickly and can get back to running again! :-)

I had my MRI 2 days ago...we'll see what the doc says next week. I might try to compare mine to the one you posted hehe. I hope all the time you are bound up in that brace goes quickly!
Hi Nancy, so nice to hear from you again! I'm glad your surgery went well, and hope that the recovery is smooth from here on out. I read the Pillars of the Earth last year and wrote about it on my book blog (www.inconsiderationofbooks.blogspot.com) - it kept me hooked all the way through, I'd love to hear what you think about it. Hang in there and enjoy the time in your lair as much as you can! (Beautiful knitting btw!)
I am glad to hear that you are able to keep yourself busy, while resting..
I am praying for a fast recovery for you!

Best wishes!! With all that laying in bed, you should at least be able to practice up on your snot rocketeering.
Oohhh Nancy I'm so glad to hear from you! I wish you a speedy speedy recovery!!
Ohhh girl as far as websites go? Man all mine are nasty so I won't link you HAHA! BUT Xenia's Sporcle one is addicting :-)

Thanks for updating us - it is good to hear from you! I've been thinking about you. I hope you have a speedy and non-complicated recovery.
Yeahh!!! I am glad that you are now officially on your way to recovery. Sounds like you have kept yourself quit busy and hopefully everyone remains as helpful!
Sounds to me like you are doing nicely!!! You opted for the repair, and in your case, I think that's a good thing!! Hang with it (as if you had a choice :-). You'll be running circles around us in not time ;-)
Here's to quick healing!!!
I am in awe of your knitting. I have been thinking about taking a class - once I get settled and moved.
Since I"m thinking about decorating these days- here are my fav sites:

Thanks for the insightful comment on the book blog, Nancy! I think whatever your blog becomes, your personality and the way it comes through in your writing will ensure that people will keep wanting to read it - I know I will!
It's good to hear from you and to know that you are doing okay. Tell your boys to keep taking good care of you.
In the meantime, you can make fun of poorly dressed celebrities at www.gofugyourself.com

I am also hoping for a safe and speedy recovery for you.
Love the pics of the knitting! I wish we lived closer to each other and then I could come over and we could sit and knit!

Thanks for the update! I hope you're well on your way to recovery. As for Web sites, are you on Twitter yet? That can certainly waste your day away. If you join, my user name is RichmondEditor. Otherwise, maybe I can ship you about two boxes worth of stuff I'd like to sell on ebay but don't have the time to get to. :)
Thanks for the update Nancy - very comprehensive! I hope you recover as quickly as possible, and safely of course. What is the prognosis for full recovery?
And I can totally relate to the feelings you get when reading about other people's running on their blogs. I am running, but with many ups and downs so I get pretty jealous of those who run many miles over a long time without injury or anything. As a result I am working on my form and hope to get to that level someday.
All the best!

I had no idea that you were going through surgery. I'm so sorry.
The scarves are lovely, though. I especially like the ribbon scarf. Good to hear from you on my blog

Heal up soon!
Heal up soon!
Wanting you to know we will keep remembering you.. and Wishing you running again.
Hugs for your sweet little boys.

I'm glad you're on the mend. I'm not sure how you're handling it, I'd be cranky and insane.

Sorry to read about having more pain and for longer than you thought it would last but you'Re well on your way to recovery and that puts a big smile on my face!!!! =)
The shower pic line made me giggle! Glad you kept your good spirit and kicked some butt at poker!

I hope you keep healing well, and get some relaxing time sometimes it is forced but needed. I love that pic of your boys at bedside too cute! Plus I got a visual of your hip on the inside too :-)
here's to a speedy recovery nancy thank you for the upday. Hang in there and take it one day at a time
Yikes, I'm late for reading this! I hope you're doing well and that the pain has subsided a bit. Glad to hear you're finding things to keep you occupied! I like to waste time at this site.
Hi, Nancy. A new reader of yours here--just wanted to tell you that you have helped inspire me to keep going with the running even though I'm new at it and it's still hard. Thank you, and I hope you are finding other things you love. I know it's a loss, and losses must be mourned, though. I wish you all the best, and I thank you. ~ Val
Love the scarves! And I can imagine it must be hard to read about other people's runs, when you long for some of your own.
I hope you recover well!
I hope you recover well!

Hi I am a fellow hipster and my experiences with this injury are so similar. I love your positiveness. Looks like you are following the rules. And trust me it is so improtant. I have one suggestion for you.Look into myofascia release theraphy. I wish I had found it right after my surgery. I know it would have helped with my recovery. Please keep us posted.
Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

Hello!
You may probably be very interested to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may begin earning with a sum that usually goes
for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one project for several years,
and I'll be glad to let you know my secrets at my blog.
Please visit blog and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per day now.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
