Arthroscopic Surgery, llamas that spit, coil packs and shes 4 and a half now!

              Some of them try to rhyme but they can't Rhyme like this NOOOOOOO!!!!. Yes folks we are t minus 1 day until Revision surgery number 1 on my left hip. The surgery i got December 6th 2012 most definately did not work and stuff is a complete mess in there.  My last surgery recovery may have been tainted by the fact that i could not afford Physical therapy. It is $150/week and that doesn't include my doctors visit co pays too. Who just has an xtra 600/month laying around for PT.  And every time i went they just talked to me, asked some questions and did a few exercises. So not worth the $50 copay. If anyone has suggestions for a good Physical Therapist that deals with FAI or Arthroscopic recovery please email me jeepkort@yahoo.com, or message me on Facebook. I had to drive down and get tested for MRSA and got a call a few days ago saying that i was positive for colonization of MRSA. At first i was freaking out but after reading some inter webs sites i learned that a good amount of people carry it around without even knowing it. I most likely got it from wifey who is around it almost daily at the hospital. MRSA Is Disgusting!

As i was driving home from picking up kaylee from Ja'duke the other day all of a sudden i noticed i was getting a serious back massage from my seat in my truck. There was a severe shuttering vibration coming from the engine compartment that shook the whole truck like one of those seats at six flags where you spend a quarter to vibrate the shit out of your feet to make them feel good.  After a trip to autozone and a Computer code reading it was identified that cylinder #2 was not firing correctly. SO i purchased a coil pack for my truck and off i went vibrating down the road. If anyone is wicked bored and wants to install my coil pack for me let me know :).  I looked on ebay and for 8 Coil packs it was $54.. Guess how much just 1 was at autozone.............. Yup it was $56 for ONE!!!!!! holy RipOff Batman! 

Just to clear a little bit of confusion up, Kaylee is not 4 years old! She is 4 and a half years old. She makes sure she corrects me when i say she is 4.. What was i thinking, apparently that half year is a HUGE deal to a 4 year old :)

I will be blogging almost daily hopefully during my recovery from my surgery as i know there is alot of people who visit my blog just to learn more about FAI and the issues i have with my hips.  Sorry if this Bores the majority of you but ill get back to more interesting things some day!  Thanks for taking the time to suffer through another blog post :)

Here are a few pictures from adventures I call LIFE!

Femoral Acetabular Impingement, FAI, Failed surgery is for the BirDs!

                      December 6th 2012. That was the date i had my Minimally invasive surgery to Correct my FAI and to clean out my labral tears in my left hip. For anyone who doesnt know i was diagnosed with bilateral FAI and Labral tears in both hips. Here is some info on FAI  Sooooooooo here we are 8 months post op and i have to say that my surgery was a complete failure.  My surgeon was not too impressed when i told him it didnt work, in fact Theres more grinding, popping, cracking now and sometimes randomly when i step on my left leg something gets pinched in my groin and i have to remove the weight from my leg at warp speed!  Im quite lost at this point, i know i have SI joint issues, What i dont know is which one caused the other one or what is my next step. I just finished 3 synvisc injections and those also dont seem to have improved the situation any. Bah humbug to doctors and their slow ass way of doing things.

                     Theres a chill in the air, evenings are getting down to around 45-50 degrees and you can tell fall is on its way! Days are still near 80 which is nice and i can totally handle the heat anyways. Its the cold weather im dreading. The snow, sleet, Aching spine type of weather where if i didnt have a kid i wouldnt even step outside ever.  Bring on the haunted hayrides, hot cider and Leaves all over the yard! Bring on the sweatshirt wearing, jeans wearing, sock wearing weather. Im ready for you dammit.   Heres to hoping everyone has a GREAT fall season and makes it through winter ok!

Kaylee 4 years 5 months old.

Sometimes I am a fantabulous parent!

Yes a fantabulous parent! Is fantabulous a word you ask? Well of course it is not but that is not reason enough for me to stop using it.  I have been having this serious issue as of late with my daughter(kaylee). Now that she is getting older i am starting to notice that she has definately gotten my sense of humor and sillyness. My issues are that when i should be reprimanding her for something im usually borderline cracking up because she is so funny. Times when i know i should have a stern face and be disciplining her im usually holding back humongous amounts of cackling laughter.  I mean obviously i want to stick to my guns and teach her right from wrong but this girl is seriously hilarious and i just cant take it!  Does any other parents laugh when they should be scolding their child? I hope that its a normal occurrence and i'm not just some weirdo! .......

 For those who dont know, with LOTS of help from kaylee the fernette family has planted a garden this year.  We decided its a great way to get kaylee to eat some more veggies,and to add some vegetables to our dinners more often. Too often ill cook chicken with mac n cheese and no veggie type of meals.  Today while kaylee was outside playing i noticed the peas are starting to sprout! Soooooo exciting!!!   I figured might as well have a garden before the government makes it illegal to grow your own veggies and have a garden.  Now if i could just discover how to grow a money tree all would be grand!  This post is going to be a short one. As you can see not very much interesting goes on in my life al too often. Melissa is still in school finishing up her bachelors degree(1 year left). Then she moves on to her masters. I graduated Porter & Chester and am investigating other educational Avenues that i might be interested in doing.  Kaylee still goes to Jaduke preschool one day a week and does Tball on weekends.   I quickly wanted to share an experience i had with all my male friends with wives/girlfriends. DO NOT let your Gf/wife mow the lawn or you will never be able to do it agian. I made the mistake of letting melissa mow with the rider mower and ow i cant get her off that darn thing!!!!  What a mistake grrrr.  But come summertime i guess that gives me more time to sit in the pool. Sitting in the pool or any water for that matter is my happy place. it is the only place where i can say my back feels "normal". All the weight is taken off the discs/joints and it makes me want to invent a water suit :).

Sooooo as i sit here listening the the neighbor drive his mower around for hours on end I will say Adios Amigos! Hasta la bye bye!
