Sunday morning began with Physical Therapy which consisted of getting me out of bed and up on crutches making sure I could go up and down on stairs. My leg and hip felt really good and they announced that I'd be able to go home later that morning. I figured I'd better shower and shave at the hospital since there shower was much easier to get into. It felt really good to get cleaned up. The nurse wheeled me out to my Dad's car, this was the part that hurt the most; my leg got twisted every which way getting into the car. On the drive home I decided to call my buddy Marc to help get me out of the car. Marc was a great help, he got me out of the car and I was up on the crutches, but the pain was very intense when trying to use the crutches that Marc and my Dad ended up carrying me into the house. I think it was the twisting of my leg to get into the car that set me back, it felt like I was starting recovery all over again. When at home, Sunday seemed to fly by, my day was filled with visits by friends and lots of phone calls. Marc stopped by for a bit and helped get me out of the car. The Fried's came by with lunch and visited for a while. It was great to see them and their daughter Allie can always make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. Later that evening my friend Rachel stopped over for a little bit, it was good to see her and spend some time watching TV.
Fortunately my dad has been able to stay with me and even though we bump heads once in a while he has been a great help. My friends have been great with calling to check in; seeing if I need anything or if there are anyways that they can help and setting up times to stop over and visit. If it wasn't for everyone's support this process would be much more difficult. My thanks goes out to everyone, it is very much appreciated.
I called today to setup an appointment with Dr. Cline the Orthopedic Doctor on Friday to take some more x-rays and to make sure the hip is still aligned. If it is surgery won't be required. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks Again!!!
