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!

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!

-=EVIL CUSTOMER SERVICE BITCHES!!!!=-

EVIL CUSTOMER SERVICE BITCHES!!!!!!!

Do you know the ones that i am talking about? The (mostly) girls sometimes guys,  who hate their jobs but  for some ungodly reason still work in the customer service occupation. Listen if you hate your life, and want to be rude to people who are obviously already at a doctors office because they have their own problems to deal with FIND A NEW JOB...... Be a trash collector... Or maybe be a Furniture repair person? Anything where you don't have to interact on a daily basis with any other person.  I'm not the type of person to be picky or critique someone either but holy COCK N BALLS cant you at least return the "hello how are you" that i offered when walking up to the reception desk?  

My experiences today involved me walking into my doctors  reception, saying hello not having the girl say anything back and just put her hand out for my paperwork. I had all i could do to bite my tongue and ask her why is she such a bitch. For anyone who knows me i'm very understanding and brush stuff off easily but today everyone hated their jobs, doctors Slammed you through like a puppy mill and no one cared about anything. It seems to be getting worse and worse every time i go to the doctors. When i arrived the lady in front of me had a 8:30 appointment with my Dr and the lady behind me had a 8:30 appointment with my DR... ?? my appointment was for 8:30 and melissa knew the lady in the back of me and she was still waiting for the doctor when we were back on our way driving on 91.... They just keep triple and quadruple booking people to get more and more $$......

BAH It only cost me $100 dollars in co pays to see 2 doctors today. My copay used to be $25 which was much more manageable. Speaking about co pays how about the ones they expected me to pay to go see Physical therapy 3 times/week after my FAI and Hip labral tear surgery. How do they just expect me to have a spare $150 laying around that i would not miss at all to pay for the Physical therapy. Do i wish that i was doing physical therapy? OF COURSE I DO, My hip is killing me and most likely not recovering the way that is should be, but i just cant justify spending $600 a month to go to a 30 minute PT appointment where they get you in late and rush you out because they are running late. Appointments usually never lead to anything being accomplished because there is no time for anything besides the Physical Therapist asking a few questions then kicking you out the door. So i did talk with my hip doctor today and he affirmed my suspicions that my deformed femur bones and FAI were most likely the cause of my destroyed back. SI joint and hips. Its nice to finally here a reason from a doctor as to why i am dealing with this clusterfuck Im dealing with. We are paying more for healthcare, getting less in services and most definitely having to deal with A SHIT TON of more grumpy customer service bitches! .... ............and bastards :)
