Pain, Patience, and a Secret Project: Navigating Life with a Broken Hip
Manage episode 499456144 series 3503973
My medical journey continues with complications during the back medication pump trial and ongoing severe hip pain that's keeping me bedridden and on multiple pain medications. I'm home now but facing important decisions about potential surgeries to address these persistent health challenges.
• Currently using an adjustable bed at home while dealing with severe pain from a broken hip
• Back medication pump trial unsuccessful due to anatomical challenges—may require general anesthesia for next attempt
• Doctor's appointment scheduled for Wednesday to discuss potential hip surgery options
• Working on a secret personal project to maintain mental sharpness before returning to school
• Pain management appointment scheduled for August 11th to explore additional relief options
• Will provide updates next week about surgery decisions and progress
Thank you for following my journey. I'll keep you updated on social media and future episodes about my hip surgery status and recovery process.
