Ha, that's funny. As if there are days when I don't think about my hip.
Actually, there are other things going on. Like the last weeks of school for my kids, which includes dress-up days for Spirit Week and school carnival, but thankfully also a little bit less homework than usual. Also work, of course, which included a great conference last month, but also news of jobs being eliminated/moved (not mine) which was not so great.
Listen, I have to be honest, much of my brain is focused on this whole hip thing. Whether it's thinking about pain levels, details for the trip, new medical studies, other hipsters - it takes up a lot of my time. So anything in my life is sort of viewed through the filter of "how it's affected by my hip."
The kids are pretty happy that they get to see and stay with Grandmas and Cousins and Aunties while we're gone. So I've put worrying about how they'll be feeling on hold for the most part. Also, we'll have someone staying at the house the entire time, which I had also been worrying about - but between a conference my step-mom needs to attend in our town to some friends being between abodes, it's just worked out rather easily in fact. Awesome!
A couple of people that I've met online doing research on hip resurfacing are in India presently - one has had surgery and one is in the next couple of days. They'll both be gone by the time we get there, but it's very cool to be in contact with folks just ahead of me.
My husband has been awesome about everything. I am not consciously worrying (yet) about surgery - but I know it's just under the surface. I'm glad he's coming along, cause it's quite an adventure.
