Continuous passive motion with my baby boy

Hip Braces, Walkers and Ted Hose, "Oh-My"

I'm still alive

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know I made it through the surgery. I'll post all the details from the doctor soon. It's still hard for me to sit for too long. So I'll keep this short. I'm using the continuous passive motion machine 4 hours a day everyday, I'm wearing my hip brace (I'll post a pic, it's ugly and cumbersome but supposed to help), I also have to wear these ridiculous boots to keep my legs straight while I sleep. Thank God for Vicodin! I have weaned myself off of pain meds during the day and just take them at night since I'm still sleeping in the recliner. Anyway, things are good so far. thanks for all the cards and flowers and well wishes ;o)

Insurance is a GO!

Finally got a call from the insurance utilization review nurse last week. Based on all of the info I faxed over to them their doctor has certified my surgery!!! Thank God! I'm so relieved and in such a better place mentally now preparing for the surgery. My doctor's office also told me I was the first patient they ever had go through the appeal process and win ;o) Usually the doctor's office staff has to deal with the insurance companies. Classic me, to controlling to let them handle things. ha
I'll write more soon, I feel like I'm nesting for another baby trying to get the house ready for me post surgery. I just want everything in its place and nothing left to do so I can come home and heal and relax!
