So...Tuesday I went for my routine followup...and the routine x-ray showed my new hip dislocated, clearly for a long time (that's why it hurt so d*** much!)
I had kept asking "Why does it hurt so much? it's not supposed to hurt at this point."
I got poo-pooed, told that men are wimps and women tolerate pain much better.
Right. I've been going through physical therapy for over a week and a half with a dislocated hip and I don't tolerate pain well?????
BS! (which, as Ben says, stands for Barnyard Slush!)

So...Back to the hospital on Tuesday for a "reduction", medical talk for manipulating the hip back in while I'm sedated, then the next day sleeping it off, and finally, FINALLY, FINALLY home today!!!

I might have missed the last candle-lighting but my wife called me so I could sing the blessing for the last night with her and the boys....it's the little things that show just how much love a family has!

Thanks to all of you.
