Countdown to a new hip — Day 37
July 31st, 2011 | Author: carriesuepepper
I am counting down. 37 days until I begin life again with my 2nd total hip! I look at the calendar and I imagine how it will be to have both sides even again, to stand before the mirror and not be crooked, to walk up a hill with both legs evenly and without pain instead of pulling myself up with my strong leg and helping the other one along. To climb out of a car and not have to stand still for the first few seconds before I can start walking, to sleep on either side I want without pain and to pull on pants without having to lean against something for fear I’ll fall.
