Triggered The Same Pain In My Other Hip
[ Friday May 17th 2024 at 6:05 pm ]

I am feeling gutted. The same grinding noise I have been hearing from my left artificial hip just came from my right artificial hip. If it was just the noise it wouldn't be as impacting. But what followed the noise is the same group of pain sensations that happens with my left artificial hip. In addition to the noise the pain it creates is so debilitating. It feels like I've been sucker punched and a biting sensation. I felt the artificial hip teeter totter inside of me. The harder pain sensation is what makes me feel like I am going to puke. This is just heartbreaking. What I am feeling this way is that I am already in a very weakened state. My body is not through the painful response of being strapped down to the MRI examination table yesterday. I was expecting to face a multi day recovery. But the chances of me recovering by Sunday or Monday is shot. I am now looking at another 5 days of this. I really want to be doing more with my life than being in a constant state of recovering. I am still committed to my life. When the artificial hip malfunctions it undermines what I have planned. I am already "all in". I have been treating the past 4 months has a 100 meter dash instead of treating my life as a marathon. I am dangerously close to having my life imploding on me. There are a few chores that absolutely must happen each day of my adult life. I am not sure how much longer I am able to go before I won't be able to do even the basics. However with the MRI happening I will be seeing the surgeon again soon. I just hope the surgeon will be willing to fix this.
