As for my hip, i still don't walk normally and I get twinges and pain if I move wrong. The hip flexor muscle gets very sore if I walk too much and this week I went back to work 2 nights in a row, teaching my students in the hospital, so I was on my feet a lot. On wednesday I actually skipped my workout because my groin was sore. Although I think I've reached my tolerance for this, I've yet to call Dr. Buly. Will he remember me? I was considering calling him. Gong into NYC for me is an effort, so I have to be 100% ready. I've been praying everyday about it and look to God for my decision.
Ok, visit is over. What a great doctor, Dr. Heart is! He helped me figure out the hip thing. I told him I don't know what to do, no one is telling me anything. He said no one can, but it's all about the quality of life. He said I'm young and should be able to do more. He said if I've done all I can, then the Orthopedic should "fix your hip"! He is also my dad's doctor and said he had to tell my dad to " go for the bypass" to improve his quality of life. He also said he's never known anyone with this problem so I had to educate him a little. He said he could tell my hip was bothering me by the way I went to get on the exam table. I am tired of waiting. My better half said now that I lost some weight it will take time for the compensation to adjust. I don't want to wait much longer. In fact, I am considering emailing Dr. Buly tonight.
Oh, and the cholesterol? My LDL went up! Go figure. He said to get it checked in 3 months, not take meds yet. He thinks it might be a wrong reading. Who knows, but my weight was great! I was down another pound since last week:)
