Little Hiatus

Guilty As Charged!

Can you believe it has been nearly a month since I have logged on and started to write my musings? Well, I have to admit I do have good reason. I had surgery about one month ago and it has been a slow recovery. I find the older I get the longer my recovery time is, so I must proceed with this information accordingly.

I had my seventh, yes, seventh hip surgery. This one was the third on my right side. I have no labrum left in that hip joint and my bone is corroded as the dickens from all the osteoarthritis and RA coursing through my system.

Here's some hope for you! I am going to see an Naturopathic Doctor at Woodwinds ASAP for a consultation. My dream is to meld eastern philosophy with western medicine practice for a more balanced approach to self care. I can't wait. I will tell you all about it after my first visit. I will scheduling that today. I heard about it from my holistic therapist, Julia Clowney, who is just a power house of great information. I am sick and tired of prednisone being the go-to medicine for most of the docs that I see and I am sick and tired of what the ramifications of that drug are, so presto, poof, gone. Not doing it anymore. No more injections, (exception is made for my L5S1 back inpingement, that requires the big guns). However, no more injections in my hips or hip bursa's I am done with that drug, period. End of report. Have I made myself clear???

Now, on another subject and then I have to get going. I have two dear friends on the east coast who are in dire need of more prayers. If you will join me in your devotionals to a higher power, my one friend is Sue who is fighting for her life with 3rd degree burns over 60% of her body and the other is Eric who is remarkably battling a gleoblastoma brain tumor. Please include these names to your prayer list or chain. I would appreciate it.

Okay, more later, promise.
