DING DING! Time for round two!

So I saw Lazzarini today. It was my 16 wk post op appointment. But I'm really 17 weeks..almost 18 weeks. I thought I was a week behind not long ago...So I went to work this morning and got some organizational stuff done with Doc. I clocked out at 12:40 for lunch so that I could make my 1:00 appointment. I got there a few minute early and registered, paid my copay, and waited to be called.

Now, I'm used to Lazzarini gracing me with his presence a little bit later than normal. He's fashionably late. So it's about 1:20, and the Medical Assistant comes in and says that he's STILL running behind and he's on his way from the hospital and asked if there was anything "wrong". So I told her about the stabbing pain in the side of my hip from time to time. They decided to x-ray me again.

FINALLY he comes in at 2:00.. At this point, I'm already 20 minutes late to clock-in! So he apologized and notice my tan?! lol.. I didn't think it was THAT noticable, but I was like, "what else can you do but lie in the sun all day when you're on disability!?" He laughed and examined me. He told me that he felt as though my hip was still a little inflammed and that it was normal. He could give me a shot for it, but I opted out. I'm not a fan of those anti-inflammatory shots.

I asked him about my left hip, and told him it doesn't hurt AS much, but it does after long periods of time. SO we he ordered another MRI and they'll call and schedule that for me... Maybe I can do it on a Friday and leave work early...hehe

So for now, I will keep doing what I'm doing. He said I can return to normal activies lightly. So that means I can finally do whatever I want!! EEEK! I wanna go ice skating...who's coming with me?!
