On November 1 Teagan Margaret Duffey arrived in the world! She rolled into town like a freight train and things have been a whirlwind ever since... Also on 11/21, I went into the hospital for a total hip replacement. I have been suffering for a long time and I bottomed out a few weeks before the operation... I got some professional advice from an actual Medical Doctor... Actually I saw two doctors and they both agreed that I needed a new hip... Apparently, I had absolutely no cartilage at all in my hip socket! I guess that would explain the pain I was having! So I had a chance to get it fixed the day before Thanksgiving and I took it!
The surgery went really well! I am moving around pretty much pain free most of the time. I have been seeing a PT and he is happy with the way things have been going... I have to wait until the Jan 2 before I can start to do any sort of real training and I need to take it slowly at first...
So besides a new Baby and Major hip surgery, I have not been doing much at all!! Anyway, I am planning to get back to posting my workouts on here... I am very excited to see how the new hip will effect my lifting! Stay tuned!
That was quite a finale to 2012 Duff! Congrats again on welcoming another beautiful daughter. What a precious (and also exremely challenging) time for you and Kate!
ReplyDeleteThose of us who have had c-sections can relate to the difficulty of having major surgery with a newborn in tow -- wish we lived closer so we could offer help. Glad to hear your hip is on the mend, perhaps even better than ever!
