Murphy's Law and Such

I finally made a decision- to wait and try to rehab my hip. And I have a second opinion scheduled (2 weeks before my surgery date, unfortunately). I felt good waiting. But I did "too much."

Being an asthmatic, my lungs typically fail long before my body does. It is foreign having pain stop me in my tracks. I push through it. Weird pinchy feeling? throw some dirt on it and run it off. Push. Get in my 10 minutes of running. Then I hobbled off the treadmill. Hobbled the next morning. Then I sat on a hard chair and felt it. The spot that betrayed me and added 20 pounds to my figure.

I am better now- but from last Friday to Tuesday I did nothing. I have walked around 8 miles since then. No pain. I think I teetered on crippling myself for a few days.

Surgery is back on the table. I need to reschedule it- probably for mid-May. A friend is planning on getting married around the time of the current date and I need to give my mom sufficient time to get a flight out here (I hope to have a decision by April 9). Unfortunately, I will be hobbling around for my 33rd bday, another friend's July wedding and a 4th of July trip to Bozeman.

I am annoyed. I would have it next week after fearing I wouldn't be able to walk for a while. Now I will have to wait another month. At least. I don't do well with waiting.
