Drama LOL!

I had my MRI this morning.  I had a drama moment.  I watch ER and I knew what an MRI was, but I didn't realize I was going to be that far into the MRI machine.  I felt very claustrophobic and went into a little paranoid state that something was going to happen to the machine and harm me in some way.  I made it out safely, surprise - not LOL!  Back to the office I go to get called back to do a CT scan.  Really?!  The CT is more like a donut, so hopefully I won't have another moment.

What a difference a day makes :-)

I am feeling much better about the thought of having a hip replacement.  I'm beginning to think surgery may be the best thing after all.  Why should I go on with discomfort, pain and not being able to do everything I should be able to do?!  I know it's that when I think hip replacement, I think older (much older) people.  I've been googling and I'm finding a lot of women/men in their 30's even that have had to have hip replacement.  Now that I am accepting it, I wonder if by the time I get the MRI results if I'll even need it.

I won't give up!

I may get tired, but I won't give up!  Today I found out the truth of my hip issues.  I do have arthritis and according to my doctor my condition will continue to get worse - not better.  It looks like I am a candidate for hip replacement.  I'm always happy to get an answer to a problem, but I can't fully wrap my head around this.  Honestly, I feel embarrassed!  Yes, embarrassed that I can't do normal things and I can't cover it up anymore.  Part of me is hoping my condition is really not that bad.  Friday, I go for an MRI.  Til then . . .
