This week I get my cat scan to check fusion and go back to the Dr. June 7. I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't stressing about this, even though I know it's out of my control. I talked to the PA about the hip pain I am having and she asked if it was pain that responded to touch (no) and was it mostly at the top of my right hip (yes.) When I said that, she looked at my chart, and said it was probably bone graft and that it was one of the last things to heal. It doesn't hurt when I sit or lie down, but it's really annoying when I'm up moving around. I did not have a separate incision for hip bone graft and I know they used BMP for part of it so I guess I have to go with what she says. It's just hard not to worry about hardware and lack of fusion and a return to the OR. I told her I was pretty much out of my brace and she said that was fine as long as I didn't do the BLT thing. Making plans for June and the rest of the summer and hoping and praying that we're going to get good news. Have been doing so well most of the time, Just having that "Sunday Night Syndrome" thing going on (teachers know what I'm talking about) and needed to vent.
Thanks,
