Here's my monthly update I guess.
Things have been not so great with my hip. I'm feeling stronger, but there is still exactly the same amount of pain there was two months ago, and there are still the same certain motions that I can't do without a lot of pain, and still soreness problems that aren't getting any better. The hospital was supposed to call and let me know when they had scheduled my next appt. with Dr. Millis since the time he wanted was not available when I was in the office. That was over two months ago. I should have seen him three weeks ago to update him on my progress, but they never made me that appointment, and I haven't gotten off my ass to schedule an appointment that, if I make it Monday, probably won't be until after Christmas. So I have to just keep suffering with this pain that doesn't feel right.
What hurts is my hip flexor (the muscle right at the front of the hip joint, sort of in the front groin area) whenever I want to cross my operated-on leg over the other leg, or any kind of inward-swinging motion of my operated-on leg. Also, my butt cheek is incredibly painful to sit on. My "butt bone" or whatever that's called feels like it's in a different place than it used to be (which it probably is, since my pelvis was rotated) and when I sit on it the bone stabs right into the muscle and is extremely uncomfortable. I only notice it on hard surfaces like wooden chairs and bike seats, but I wonder if I'll never be able to ride a bike comfortably again, or if it'll fade.
I'm sorta pissed about it. It's my fault that I didn't call the hospital back when October came and they still hadn't called me about the appointment they were supposed to schedule. But, I just wish that I didn't have to work so hard to get my treatment. It's so frustrating and it leaves me downtrodden and resentful and defeated.
