I just had hip surgery a few weeks ago. When I am asked what kind of surgery I say, "It is called periacetabular osteotomy but I feel like I am saying Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." I get a lot of twisted looks.
I am three weeks out tomorrow. Life is interesting. I am counting down to three weeks from now when I hope I will be allowed to start walking on it normally. But even more importantly I will be able to go home and be with my boy Travis who (lucky for me) is missing me (and the boys) bad.
I have no pictures to share as I am not at my own computer but picture this...seven inch scar, numb fingers, crutches with aces bandages wrapped around the handles, wimpy looking left leg, walker, wheelchair, bruised up left leg, ornery Charlie who knows his mom can't come get him, standoffish Burke who would rather go to anyone else who can walk around while carrying him, an Isaac and Theron who are being pretty darn good, and one lonely lonely Travis.
And yet...life is good.

Are you already falling apart? Sorry to hear about the hip surgery...sounds like Karma has finally come back to get you after all that time of fooling me into thinking your dad was in a wheelchair!!! LOL
Get well soon Britt!
Good Luck recovering Britt--- it is so hard to be away from your family that long and to not be able to get around the way you are used to. I hope Travis and your boys will be taking GREAT care of you!
