Hip update…

…kind of… 😇

I start writing this post 5 days before the scheduled call from the surgeon. I got the puncture done 8 days ago. And the surgeon will call me in 5 days (as I write this). Unfortunately… It’s a 15:00 call, so I’ll have the whole day to be anxious about it. As I’m already anxious about it now.

I mean, I know I need a surgery. I know that hip bowl (or is it a cup?) needs to be placed in the right position again. So my leg can stop “wobbling”, so it can stop tingling, so it can (hopefully) function properly again… But…

---

Knowing my “luck”, I’ll have an infection there and I need antibiotics (again). And those meds will probably then mean, that I’ll also need more testing, as they need to know if the antibiotics are working. The area needs to be clear before they will schedule the surgery. As an infection means that the hip bowl is at risk of not healing properly, like what happened now…

Should this change of the bowl have been caused by the infections I had post surgery, and should the area be clean now, then… I guess I will be placed on the waiting list for the surgery. I just wish I knew a date.

So I could plan, so I can arrange things for that, so there would be less insecurity. I need facts, I need to be able to plan, I need to make sure that I can get everything sorted so I’ll have to worry less when the date comes. But for now… I’m just anxious, counting the days, and then the hours, till I get that call. And, when I know more, then I’ll continue this post. Not that you’ll notice, 😉 as it’s just continuing below this…

Well, it’s been a few days since I started the post, and I have an update. 😊

There is no infection! 🎉 So… It means I’m on the list for the surgery. According to the surgeon, the waiting time is ± 2 months. So, I should be getting the surgery around the end of May? Then there is a six weeks period of boredom! I mean, I’ll be limited so much, so it will be hard to get through…

But yeah, they will call me when they can schedule me in. When I have the date, I can make arrangements for the bed/couch thing, and I can ask people to help me with Arwen and groceries and such… I never like asking for help. But when you need two crutches, you can’t just do your things….

It will be hard, for sure. I’ll struggle, I’ll be triggered, I’ll be sad and angry… But hopefully it will all be worth it… 🤞🏻

I’ll try to update you all when I know a date and all that. 😊 And of course I’ll keep writing about it as the journey continues, as I usually do. 😉

To be continued…

I is back lovely peeps! Did ya miss me??

In about 15 hours, I should receive a call from the surgeon about my puncture that I had two weeks ago... 🫣 Will I have an infection? Do I need antibiotics? Or... Is the area clear and can they schedule the surgery?? I hope to get that surgery over with, as that would mean I can plan and recover and then, hopefully, get back to "normal" again... 🤞🏻 But... Knowing my luck, I'll probably need the antibiotics first... 🤔

I had a decent enough night, but I think I may need to change the bedding, as it seems that the winter bedding is getting too warm during the nights... Best check the weather and then maybe change it later today...

I only did the groceries yesterday. I didn't hoover. I only swept the floors and couch. My hand was still every sore and I didn't want to disturb it with the hoover (and the mop). But I definitely need to do those chores so I guess that's the plan for this morning...

I am still reading my book, but it's going slow... I think I'm in chapter 6 now. I don't know how many chapters there are... 🤔 But I think I have about 500 more pages to go (as my settings are in the eReader, no idea about "real" book pages). My friend already finished it, so I need to catch up... 😊

I tried to read some before bed time, but I was so tired that I barely made it to 5 pages or so before I drifted off....

So yeah... Today... I need to hoover and mop, I need to await the phone call of the surgeon (wish this could be at 9 and get it over with, not at the end of my day...). I hope up read a bit... And, if the weather allows, I'll ask the neighbor if she has some time to help me (finally) hang up that cloth in the garden...

Let's see if my leg allows me some riding time today... 🤞🏻 Catch you all later, when I've done my journal Toot. 😉

#Journal of a slightly ouchy Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Monday, 24/03/2025).

@tldr please do your thing for me here... 😊

I got up before the alarm went off. Got to the scale and it was a wee bit kinder to me, yay. Got dressed, took my meds, and I cared for Arwen. She was happily eating when I got my bag and I headed to Skoosh. Onwards to the gym again!

I checked my social media and enjoyed the protein shake, while I was waiting for the meds to kick in. I went to the seated bike and I almost managed half an hour. Stupid leg... 🤬 Ugh... I'm so done with the painful tingling and all that... I went to the massage chair and after that, I headed back home again.

I washed up, had brekky, and then Arwen and I got ready for walkies. We didn't see the moon, as it would be coming up too late. But we had a nice walk and Arwen had loads of sniffs everywhere. I managed to work on my blog a bit. When we got back, I got my laptop and I worked on my journal post some. I got it almost ready, just need to add the Samsung Health info, but that's never shared until later on Mondays.

I fixed some food and then Arwen and I headed out for walkies. I was reading on the couch when bestie called me on her way to work. We had a nice catch up, as it's been over a week, seeing she had a holiday last week... Lucky her! 😉 Then I got ready to drive to Lidl to get some groceries. I was a little earlier, but I was back home at 8:25, so I think I did rather well...

I relaxed on the couch a bit till it was 9, and Arwen was ready for walkies again. We saw the neighbor, so Arwen was all happy again. When we got back, I crashed on the couch. My thumb still had not recovered from the ouchies on Sunday, so I tried to give it as much rest as I could, which meant not doing the chores that I had planned to do.

Around 11, Arwen wanted walkies again. And she saw the neighbor again, so yeah, we walked with them again... 😊 I was very tired when we got back, and I set the alarm for the next walkies, just in case...

I did snooze a bit, so the alarm was a good idea. We got ready for walkies, and Arwen and I had a good time. We watched some telly after that, and then I got ready to head to bed. Arwen did her last wee, and I got to sleep rather quickly.

Woke once for the loo, and then again, about half an hour to the alarm. So, I got up and started my day. This would be a long one, as the call from the surgeon was scheduled around 15, which is the end of my day... So yeah... A long wait for me....

Ello frens and fans of Arwen

We're back on another adventure folks! It's 6°C with a real feel of about 3, so I'm wearing the light winter jacket again. It should be dry, so I should be OK with this jacket, I hope...

The gym didn't go too well. I managed 25 minutes on the bike. Then I walked 0,5km on the treadmill. My leg was not too pleased. I was hoping to use the massage chair, but there was a couple that didn't seem to want to get out of them. They were in them before I started the few exercises, and they were still in them when I left... 😔 I sometimes felt weird when I went for a second round, they were there for at least 50 minutes, and a round is ten... So yeah... If I were braver, I'd probably ask if they were gonna spend the night in those chairs. Now I only wondered in my head...

Yesterday, I finally got the code for my meds, so tonight I remembered to pick them up on the way home.

Hmmm 🤔 dunno what's up with Arwen, but she seems a nit slower tonight. I know she needs her shot again this Friday, so I'm guessing the old one is wearing down... 😔 Poor gall... Maybe there's just a load of new sniffs? I can't really ask her, unfortunately...

Hopefully I can get some of the chores done today. I just need to push through I guess and just do them. It won't get better by waiting, it will only trigger me more, as things will become worse... Ugh... Stupid cleaning...

Hmmm 🤔 apparently, there are lot of frogs active here, as I've seen several squashed ones in the road so far... 😔

I just started a new series on Netflix. It's an Austrian one, a thriller, so I hope it will be a good one. If it is, then I can recommend it to my parents, as they watch more German and Austrian things in the telly...

Let's see if I can write a little for my blog again. Arwen is slow, so she's giving me enough time, that's for sure. Yay for my phone being charged before we headed out. 😊

Ugh, today will be a long day, with waiting for that one call. I hate phone calls, but this one is rather important, and I know that it's coming (and when). Fingers crossed 🤞🏻...

Have a lovely second Monday to those that celebrate! Tonight's music is a mix of Eisbrecher...

Hey ho, let's see if I can write a bit for my blog then... Or maybe... I'll watch some of that series? To rest my annoying thumb a bit? 🤔

I is back sweet Friendos

I had a decent night, with some weird dream, that shook me awake about 35 minutes before the alarm. I don't recall it being bad, it was just really weird. The only thing I remember is that I drove this very old station wagon (an American one with those wooden side panels 😂) and I was late to pick someone up, and they were annoyed with me for taking the "old piece of junk". 😂 And then I was wide awake...

The scale was a wee bit nicer, although I don't really know why... As I didn't do anything that would have warranted it... 🤔 But it said I went down about one kilo. But it did say my fat was a bit higher and my muscles lower. I know I could not do my dumbbells yesterday, as my thumb kept dislocating... 😔 And I can't use the dumbbells properly when I have my brace on...

My thumb feels a bit better now, but still a bit like it needs a good pull to slip back to the right spot. Although it doesn't hurt to type with it now, it feels a bit like it's about to "fall asleep", if that makes sense... 🤔

I don't have big plans for today. I need to visit Lidl this morning, so I wanna be there when they open. I'll probably make friends again by driving the speed limit on the road there. 😂 I always start my own farcebook on that road when it's more busy, as I don't speed there... I never really speed as I don't see any advantage in it. OK, when someone needs medical attention quickly, then I'd understand... So yeah, I won't take Arwen to the Herperduin this morning, as I wanna be at Lidl when it opens. But she's been there three days in a row, and she'll go there again in Wednesday for sure, so she doesn't miss much. (well, she may disagree).

I need to hoover and it would be good if I could mop te floors. As I could not do that yesterday with the bad neck and hand. The floors will probably be a wee bit lighter once I've run the mop over it...

I did clean up the laundry yesterday, so that's a plus then I should also dust, but I think that with the hoover and mop, and the visit to Lidl, I may be out of spoons after that... 😔

Hopefully I can relax some as well, as I'm still eager to read more in my new book... Am in chapter 5 now and there's still a lot of pages to go... 😊

Hope that you all had a great weekend! I'll catch you in a bit when I write my journal Toot!

#Journal of a slightly sore Dutch Pixy 🧚🏼‍♀️ (Sunday, 23/03/2025).

@tldr 🤖 please do your thing for me. 😊

I woke a longer time before the alarm. As I was wide awake, I thought it was almost time for it so go off. When I looked again it wasn't 23 but still 22... But yeah I was wide awake, so I got up anyway... Did my usual things and got ready to head to the gym. Once Arwen was eating happily, I put out the snacks and I grabbed my bag. On to the gym I went. 😊

I caught up with the notifications while my meds were kicking in, and while I was enjoying the protein shake. I got to the seated bike, but after half an hour, my leg bummed out again. Stupid leg... 😔 I went to the massage chair to get some relief, and then I headed back home again. I was earlier, but yeah, I just wasn't motivated and I hoped that a walk with Arwen would help me feel a bit better.

I washed up and had brekky. Then we got ready for walkies. Arwen wanted the longer one, and the weather wasn't too bad, so I just followed her. We had a nice walk, and when we got back, I switched clothes so that I could ride the hometrainer for a while. My neck and right hand were sore, so I didn't do the dumbbells bit. I relaxed a bit and then fixed my food as I was getting a bit hungry. We relaxed a bit and then Arwen wanted walkies.

Some more relaxing after that, as I did feel sore and tired. And around 6:35, we got ready to head to Skoosh. We drove to the parking at the Herperduin. Arwen had all the sniffs and splashes there. She had a good time. When we walked back, I could hear kids screaming. It was 7:30 for crying out loud! So I was glad that we were heading back to Skoosh already...

We got back and Arwen allowed me some time on the couch. Till about 9 and then we had to go out again. She was still tired, but determined to head out for walkies. She was fortunate though, as she did spot her friend, so extra nomnoms were had!

When we got back, I tried to relax some more. My neck was sore and my thumb kept popping out of the socket some, so I wasn't a happy Pixy at all. Then I fixed food for Arwen and myself. Of course, when it was 11, Arwen had to have another walkies. She was tired, as was I, but nope, we had to go...

When we got back, I relaxed on the couch and at some point, I dozed off. When I woke, it was a wee bit past 13:30 and there was a text already about the walkies with N&B. Usually Arwen will let me know that it's time, but I guess she was snoozing as much as I was. 😂 So we quickly got ready and had a lovely walk together.

We watched some telly after that, till it was time to head to bed. It didn't take too long to fall asleep. I woke once for the loo. When I woke again, it was about 35 minutes to the alarm. It wasn't a long night, but it had not been too bad. So... Let's get up and start the new night. Or day. Or week even. 😉
