What a day!

I finally had an appointment with a doctor about my hip today.  I have a hard time because I think, "Is all of this really necessary?  I can walk around without any pain...can't I just live with it?  I can just be sure to avoid rotating my leg for the rest of my life."  But then when I talk to the "professionals" every one of them has said, "Since January?  Yeah, that's a pretty long time, we should see what's going on." 

At any rate, I had xrays done today that showed...absolutely nothing.  So now I have an appointment for an MRI next week.  Apparently they'll inject dye into my hip.  Boy does that sound like fun!  I hope something is shown & there's some sort of treatment.  I'd hate to do all of this for a, "We don't know what's going on, just hope it'll heal on its own."  It was really cool to see my bones though.

In interesting medical news, they're doing hip arthroscopies now.  That may be the next step if the MRI doesn't show anything.  Cross your fingers that it's not.

In interesting makeup news, I met with the Avon lady today & got all of my stuff to get started.  Pretty excited...should be fun!

Until next time...
