Went back to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday.
I had to go for X-Rays first. My techs were awesome.
Finally got in to Tucker's office. He checked out the X-rays and said everything appeared to be healing up well, but there's still a lot of bone growth needed.
He had to scope out the hip area, palpate for any abnormalities in the scar tissue or bone (or lack thereof). For the record, those are NOT my panties... The bright pink band is part of the yoga pants. And FINALLY.... I got some good news!!
This was part of my happy dance.. I was told that I can start doing 25% weight bearing with my left leg. The goal is to be walking completely by February! Annnnnnnnd......... I CAN DRIVE! First thing I asked was if we could go pick up my truck from Mom's. I am no longer making a payment on a car I can't drive. Now I can actually drive it! It was great to be back behind the wheel for a change.
I also got some quite frustrating news from worker's comp, but that has me so royally p*ssed off that I don't even want to discuss it right now. I want to bask in the excitement over the fact that I'm no longer totally hopping around every where I go, and that I CAN DRIVE!!
