I called the surgeon up in Vancouver, and spoke with a medical assistant. My dexa score is not an automatic 'No Resurfacing' in their office, so I'm going for an appointment - and they got me in this Friday afternoon!! I'm pretty happy it's so quick, because I am having a TERRIBLE time not planning out all my options, and my head is sorta driving me crazy.
If after seeing me, my x-rays, and my dexa report, he says he'd be willing to do a resurfacing, I'm planning on signing right up. If he says no, I'm not a good candidate, ... well I don't have a plan yet.
I'm trying to stay balanced between advocating for what I want while not trying to force things. I can do either extreme fairly easily - either go balls out or just give up - so finding a reasonable middle ground may be a matter of noticing balance as the pendulum swings past.
Have I mentioned my hip is really hurting this week? It kinda is. I'm going to have to go the sensible shoe route for the next couple of days, and those who know me well know that's a sacrifice. I have pants I can't wear, because they're too long without heels; it affects my entire wardrobe! I'm only being partly facetious, I realize there are worse things. I just feel like whining.
Maybe in 48 hours there will be a plan. Maybe not. I will be ok, either way, even if I don't think so.
