Hello friends! I have both good and bad news. The bad news is that the MRI does show that I tore the cartilage on my left hip socket. The tear is only 2.5mm in length so it is on the small side. It may or may not be causing the pain. The pain could also be created from the tendentious located in the front of the hip. The doctors says that source of the pain is very difficult to pinpoint.

On a positive note… The past few weeks i have been feeling significantly better than i have in months. I am able to walk around and work without much pain. The therapy has been making a huge impact. The surgeon says that i should give it a couple more months to see if it get 100% on it’s own. If it doesn’t then he says says that he can fix it with surgery with a 6-8 month recovery time. So hopefully i can avoid that all together! The past few weeks make me think I can.

In the mean time, the doctors say that I can continue regular activities as long as I listen to my body’s limits and continue the therapy exercises on my own. So I’ve been working and building up the trek fund for this coming January. Keeping busy. Getting things done.

It feels darn good to be walking again!
