Femoral acetabular impingement/ Labral tear. Can i get a what? what?

BAM!   BAM?   BAM ....................

whatwhat? Who? What?   Woke up today around 4:30 to get ready for my surgery at cooley dickinson.  My surgery was scheduled for a 6am arrival and 8am operating room time.  Went through all the pre op stuff , shaving hip, getting IV, etc, etc.  I just want to take a moment to point out that from a patient perspective that the nurses (every nurse i encountered) during my stay at cooley dickinson hospital  was way too busy to actually care that i was in the hospital at all. I genuinely feel bad for them and know that 90% of them wish they had more time with the patients.  Dr fallon came to talk to me and after a bit of a wait off we were off to the OR. The crew in the operating was absolutely hilarious joking the whole time until the last thing i remembered (which was some funny jokes from Dr fallon.) You can tell these people LOVE their jobs. I would too  considering once the patient is asleep you can be as goofy and funny as you want. At one point the anesthesiologist said "guys calm down a little the patient is not even out yet" and i said by all means dont worry about me.  The taste you get in your mouth as the anesthesia works it way through your body is disgusting. Its like a mix of chemicals/bleach. It is aVery weird taste!

.

Its now 2pm and im home. Not too bad for a hip surgery in my opinion. Dr fallon said we will go over the details of what he found but Explained thathe took out a chunk of bone that was floating around in my hip. The bone is most likely the reason for the Tear in the labrum. That and the impingment which is just my dumb luck that i was born with a messed up hip socket.  I really need some work on my crutches but im sure ill get plenty of practice in the next month while i can not put any weight on my left leg.  Thank you melissa(my wife) for dealing with my crap! I know it has not been easy and i know i will be healing quickly! If anyone happens to have one of those pedal bikes that is easily moved around i am looooking for one to help in my rehab while sitting at home. Thank you everyone for the good lucks and the get wells. Thank you to A Friend To Friend for all you have done and the support! I can not wait to get better and get back out helping those in need! I have a date with some Ritz Crackers and some diet coke so Hasta Luigi Chicos and chicas!

The day is coming....

Wow today is already  December 2nd can you believe it? I know i cant! My hip surgery is in 4 days YIKES! Im trying to run around and get things done that i can before im out of commision for a bit.  For anyone who cares im having a left hip arthroscopic surgery. Multiple labral tears and needs to be cleaned out and evaluated for future treatments/surgeries.

Can i just take a  moment to say that i  absolutely LOVE Garbage omelets from the Four leaf clover in Bernardston, Mass.  It has mushrooms, peppers, onions, bacon anything and everything you want! YUM YUM YUM!  I bought a gift certificate off of restaurants.com for 4 dollars that was  a $25 gift certificate. Crazy huh? you should check them out, they are always having some really good sales!  We took Mimi and Grampa out for breakfast this morning and it was just a great experience. Good food, Good atmosphere!

  I really do try and get as many blog posts done as possible but honestly i never even have a clue what to write about. Im always brain storming and trying to think of ideas. Overall im just a boring person and  not a great writer.   I mean im a pretty silly, quick witted dude but transferring my feelings and goofiness to blog format never comes out the way i want it to.

2AM Rants and Delirium

2AM Rants and Delirium

Honestly  though? What else is there to do at 1:31am on the night after you received a Hip arthogram and the steroids will not release their grip on your awakedness!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!   I figured what the hey HEY lets get another blog post in right? RIGHT?....... R I G H T ! ! ! !  

So this is my third Injection and to be completely honest, It actually hurt quite a bit. The first 2 i received i didn't feel a thing and only side effects were High Blood sugars and Not sleeping for about 3-4 nights in a row. Here i am having that same problem now :/ but its OK because in 4 hours when Kaylee wakes up and wants to play i will lay a HUGE super thick comforter down on the floor, lay there and let her crawl all over me playing "dragons"   "playground slide"  and BARBIES! Sooo what, I enjoy playing barbies with her is that such a crime. I mean i have been home with her since she was 4 months old and we have built quite the father-daughter bond.  I would describe our relationship as a "WTF Daddy why cant you lift me up, Are you gonna play with me yet?, When is mommy coming home" Kind of relationship. She loves me to death but its like any relationship whether intimate or family when you spend too much time with a person you take things for granted. You also tend to get sick of each other (In a loving way of course). I'm in no way saying i don't enjoy my time with Kaylee im just saying sometimes it is nice when gramma comes and gets her on Sunday afternoon and The wife is at work all day and i can just watch some football and Veg out.  

Kaylee has been having some really hard times with missing mommy the last few weeks because its just worked out that either kaylees at school, melissa is working, Kaylees sleeping or something is going on.  their schedules are just not lining up lately and kaylee repeatedly expresses her yearning for mommy.  The other day we  missed mommyWife so much we drove up to hagars farm stand/store and got some fried dough with maple cream for Melissa and her coworkers.  I gotta tell you if you have not tried Hagars Fried dough then get out and try it! It is THE BEST in this area.  I also tried a goat meatball at Hagars and cant say that was exactly super awesomely delicious. It tasted  alot like dirty bison meat rolled down a Huge hill of manure. YUMMMMY!!!!  the lady did say it was leaner then chicken and one of the healthiest red meats there is..   Maybe i could put enough BBQ sauce on it to make it edible i dont know, and i don't think ill be trying it anytime sooN!

Looks can be deceiving!
