Injection #2 Isn't Happening

My orthopedic doctor that did my hip replacement in 2008 has left Shawnee. So I made an appointment with another orthopedic doctor and found out that I will have to go to OKC for a doctor to replace my hip. He also will not recommend an injection in the hip because of the risk of infection. Apparently if you get an infection in the hip you can't get a hip replacement. Hmm! All this is news to me. So, his nurse is going to find out if the doctor he is recommending accepts our insurance. But, I did get a prescription for a pain pill. May be this will help. He also reviewed my x-ray from 8-31-10 and said he would recommend a full hip replacement and wanted to know why I would put it off 6 months. I explained about school. As he examined me he said that my right leg is about 1/2 inch shorter than the left. I knew it!
Ken and I went to Hobby Lobby in the city after my appointment. We picked up a few things. One was an ornament for a ornament exchange on Saturday. I am glad to have that ready to go. Rusty, the big red dog, is fascinated by all the sacks and things we brought in.
The kids are really getting excited about Christmas! The behavior all over school is getting wilder by the day. Hopefully we will keep our sanity until the 17th!
