Getting Older Every Day

Here it is Fall again. We've hardly had a summer. We are having a beautiful Indian Summer. Warm and Sunny. Nights are cooler. About six weeks ago I started having pain in my groin. It got worse and worse. Dr. James White had just started coming to my painting class, so he observed my pain and said I might have a fractured hip or pelves. I got Xrays the next day and it didn't show a fracture so they put a cortizone shot in my hip the week before Ed Week. It didn't take until Monday afternoon in Provo...our first day there. I had a great week till Friday afternoon when the pain returned. My knee was bothering me alot too, so they gave me a shot in the knee. That was supposed to tell if it or my hip was the real problem. The hip was the problem, so a CT was called for which showed a fracture in the hip in the part that makes a cup for the ball to fit in. So...I am broken. However, Dr White says that it should heal if I stay on a walker for three months and take care for six. I hope that is so, but it is so hard to do anything much with a walker. But I am trying. Getting old certainly is not for sissys. Sometimes I am a sissy.
