Well, the bursitis in my right hip has returned. With a vengeance. 😦 The cortisone shot didn’t ‘take’. Since I’ve had three of them in a short period of time, I’m not allowed anymore for a long time (too dangerous, so I’m told). So, I was a good girl this time and didn’t just endure the pain. Hoping it would go away. I called the Orthopedic Doctor right away. They’re setting me up for an MRI in preparation for surgery. It may take a week or so to get all the preparatory stuff done before going forward. That’s OK. I’m not unhappy. I know that I’m in good hands. All is right with the world. 🙂 I’m sure this is everyone’s wish for their lives too, but I’m just wishing we could stop spending money on medicine and procedures. But, it could be worse … couldn’t it ….

The Great Physician will carry you through, and prayers will go up until it is over and you are feeling 100% again.

The bursa in my right hip will be removed. This will be the second time I’ve had it done. (What weird is they grow back! Yeah, like a lizards tail.) It started with a terrible tumble I took in the yard in the early 2000’s. I had landed on my right side on a slab of cement at full force. That caused the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the broken / irritated bursa, etc. that’s all been on the right side. I feel blessed. It could have been a LOT worse! ❤

But that first surgery DID relieve you of pain, I HOPE?!! So this will be the same…??

Yes and yes. 🙂 Unfortunately, when the shots, ice, therapy don’t work, surgery is the only relief one can get with bursa irritation. It will grow back (who knew!?) so that I can walk unaided and I’ll be fine for a few more years. Possibly for good this time. [fingers crossed] One can only pray that will be so. Thanks so much! Hope your day is blessed with joy my friend.
