It&#8217;s mostly been a dumping ground for my Instagram feed. I sure haven&#8217;t written anything. And I&#8217;ve been glad about that. I haven&#8217;t needed to write anything. Kelley the Patient no longer existed&#8212;I was Kelley the Woman free and clear.</p> <p>Well, I am once again mired in a drawn out healing process that is kicking my ass, and I&#8217;ve decided to resurrect this blog as a guide path to get me through. </p> <p>A little back story: as you can see, I&#8217;m on crutches. I&#8217;ve been on crutches for 6 weeks. My doctors assure me I will not be on them forever, but no one is able to tell me when exactly I&#8217;ll be able to walk on my own. Next week? Maybe. Next month? It&#8217;s possible. Next decade? It will definitely be before then. I think.</p> <p>Why am I on crutches? Well, for the past two years (plus) I&#8217;ve been living with a torn ligament in my hip. Unfortunately I wasn&#8217;t seeing the right doctors, so no one knew why I was in constant pain. Once I finally got the right diagnosis, the only option was surgery. The ligament was sewn up, my femoral head was shaved (I know, gross), and I was on the road to recovery. </p> <p>Which turns out is even worse than the road to surgery.</p> <p>But, as my therapist is fond of reminding me, this is a temporary situation. I may not know what the endpoint is, but it exists. In the meantime, I need to make my life about more than physical therapy and doctor&#8217;s appointments. </p> <p>Once again I am going to try to post something every day. Even if it&#8217;s just a picture of my crutches.</p>http://kelleythewoman.tumblr.com/post/47781396772http://kelleythewoman.tumblr.com/post/47781396772Fri, 12 Apr 2013 09:18:15 -0500photographycrutcheship arthroscopyinjuryillness
