I met with the surgeon today for my hip. I'll be getting surgery September 11 of all days. The surgeon isn't sure what all he'll have to do, but I can expect to be on crutches for at least 3 weeks...maybe more. Also set up an appointment to see if I'll need surgery on my left shoulder. Not a big fan of surgery, but not a fan of being in pain all fricking time.
Repairs and all, it looks like my throwing career is over. So now it's time to find a new hobby I can be passionate about. But first, there will be a grieving period to deal with. I'll let you know how that goes. or not.
Navigating the pothole riddled gravel road of my psyche and mental health (with occasional crashes into the ditch). Spoiler Alert: growing up in rural America isn't anything like the wholesome goodness of Little House on the Prairie.
Are you sure you're in the right place?
Try not. Do or Do not; there is no try.

About Me
- Cowgirl71
- I'm a middle aged, irritable AF, puppy-mommy, and wife to my wife. I grew up in rural ND on a cattle ranch with a family who put the "Dys" in Dysfunction. Now I live in the big city, and am trying to get through this thing called life while not so gracefully navigating PTSD and and Post Concussion Syndrome.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the gentle voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
