Next Step

Hi everyone!

Happy New Year!  Sorry it has been so long since my last post.  Things have gotten interesting in my life!

1) Over the holidays I got engaged!  Super excited about this!  Let the planning begin!
2) We have decided to take the next step with regards to my hip and this means surgery.

They will be doing a Peri Acetabular Osteotomy.  This is pelvic surgery to deepen my hip socket to help decrease my pain levels and to help prep me for a hip replacement down the road (hopefully not for 10 years or so).

This surgery is a bit scary for me as in my eyes surgery truly is the last resort as it is so invasive.  But at the same time I am glad that there is a treatment plan and hopeful at the outcome.

I will be off work for 3-4 months with this option and have been spending the past month organizing, prepping, planning and putting systems into place with my business in order to make this possible.  Luckily, I have an amazing family and supportive staff to help out.

I have not been given a date yet for the surgery (although they tried to convince me to go in before Christmas) and I have been calling weekly trying to get them to give me some idea as to when this might happen.  I may just go down to the hospital later this week.  Owning my own business means that I HAVE to plan and not knowing when I will be leaving is posing some difficulties.

In the mean time I have put into place a pre-surgery plan of action to help make sure that my body and mind are ready for this.  I will be keeping you all updated on my steps and progress until the date of surgery.

Talk to you soon!
