Recuperating....

For those of you who may not know, I recentlly had surgery on my hip. I have been dealing with trochanteric bursitis for the last year. The bursitis did not respond to any of the conventional treatments such as steroid injections, anti-inflammatories, or physical therapy. Because of the lack of response to any of the treatments I had to have a bursectomy and a cut down on my iliotibial band or lengthening is another term used.

The recovery has not been that bad.....other than being stuck in the house! I only had to use crutches for about a week and a half. The pain was not bad..sometimes. I can't drive for 3 weeks...that sucks!

I am not a good patient!
