Hello all,
Just a quick update:
I went for my ultrasound on my hip on Tuesday afternoon.
They were checking for any kind of cysts/fluid build-up in the joint and around
the front area of the hip. I relayed to the ultrasound tech that I really didn’t
think it was anything like a cyst. She felt around the area I was talking about
and agreed it’s probably not, but that they doctor is probably doing this as a
first step. I asked if it was a “cyst-ematic” approach, she said yes and moved
on with her life. She either didn’t get my pun, or did and decided it was so
bad she didn’t want to acknowledge it. “No one could purposely make a pun that bad.”
Anyway, I’m hoping to get a call back from my surgeon today
on whatever it was they found while investigating. All I know is that the
ultrasound tech and I spent a good 5 minutes looking around at my bone cuts and
screws. That was WILD.
I had a moment, while lying there being poked and prodded,
where I felt I really was making something out of nothing. Yes, there are times
where the bony growth is annoying and painful. Yes, it seems like it could be
still growing. But, is it really so bad that I have to investigate it? I’m
feeling like I should just leave well enough alone and be happy with what I’ve
got. It’s not like it’s a huge deal. However, the biggest thing to me is that I
don’t know what is up in there. If it’s nothing, then fine. Then I’ll know it’s
nothing and I can forget about it. But, if it’s something that will continue to
change, and possibly get worse? Well, I’d like to know that now, before it
starts to worsen…especially if Matt and I want to start a family soon-ish.
At any rate, that is that, and as soon as I hear I will post my next
steps!
