heat effects

I'm telling you, there are some benefits from having a screwed up body. My knee tells me when the weather's going to change.

Of late, the things with my body have been mounting up and up. My hip tally now stands at X-rays, an MRI scan, and two CT scans. Today saw me running back to Victoria House Medical Imaging to get the second run of CT scans done - the guy forgot to do a section yesterday when I was in. Apparently I might have a twisted femur. Fun.

In good news, surgery has been booked. 27th of February, 2006 will see me going under to have the torn labrum fixed, as well as possibly having some of the top of the femur shaved off.

In not so good news, Cozza decided to once again remind me how painful arthroscopies are last night, which has me wincing already. I'm planning on taking the whole week off, and setting up camp and Mum & Dad's house, and sending them in for DVDs every couple of days. I don't know - it's one of those weird things that I'm both looking forward to, and entirely dreading.

And in closing news, my Orthapedic Surgeon has decided to take holidays until mid-late January, so I won't find out for a few weeks whether or not my bones are getting shaved. Thank goodness the medical professionals make sure they take enough time to ensure they are fully rested and recovered, before starting back for the year come February.

Oh Burkie!! Get well soon mate. If there's anything I can do (chocolate, chats, prayer - though of course that's a given - et cetera)... just let me know eh?
Lots of love,
Naomi
