Humph

So another year and another surgery. I would ask why me but I know that God has a plan. It seems that over the last several years I have been steadily working on tearing up my hip joint. I have a torn labrum (socket) and a strange boney surface to my femoral head that most likely tore the labrum. On top of that, I have managed to get a hernia in a weird place and messed up the bottom tip of my pelvis. All of this is very painful when I bear weight on my hip. I am looking for 2-3 surgeries and a lot of physical therapy.

Funny thing is, when looking at my hip X-ray and looking and my horse, Lynx's X-ray of his hips, they are similar minus the bony femoral head and tear. I guess we have a very very very special bond! 

So, for the next six months I won't be writing about the wonderful run I had last night or how my horse is finally getting in shape. No, I have decided to stay positive and write about how my son can recite all of his books! And how my husband did a great job being Mr. mom yesterday! These are the things that will make me smile! And you know what, they should be in center stage! 

Most of all I am seeing a lot more of God's love around me. Folks offering to help. Strangers even. A smile and a "how is your day" from a random person whom I replied "it's great! And how about you?" Rather than dwell on the fact that I was sitting in the cart at Walmart. Yeah, life is gonna be OK. I have faith. I can stop and feel sorry for myself but I think I will do my best to look up instead!
