Back to school, Latest & Greatest on my hip!
These holidays seemed to go on forever!
I love having the kids around and they are no trouble at all now they are older but there is nothing like having that space in your day to work without guilt!
Chloe started high school this year and today is really the first day I have been able to fully comprehend just how much this changes things for me.
I didn't have to drive her to school! Cody & Chloe headed out the door for the bus at around 8:25 and then the house was in silence.
I wandered around for a bit feeling a little lost because it is so different from our regular routine.
I am out and about early as I head in to town to train my ladies anyway but usually this is followed by coming home and racing around to get ready (and eat) to drop Chloe to school.
It is definitely a much calmer start to the day and one I can definitely get used to.
Yesterday I was in the the CBD for a workshop that took up then I headed to a sports doctor who is a hip specialist so we could look at where we go next with this dodgy hip of mine.
Surgery is the next major step (not news to me) but I will wait a year and in the meantime have another corisone shot to get me through. Now is not the time to have hip surgery when I am about to launch my taekwondo school!
Cortisone will hopefully help deal with the pain side of things so I can continue to be active until surgery day rolls around.
The next step with surgery is to find out if it is major (awful operation where they need to break my pelvis and re-set it to deal with my dysplasia) or relatively minor surgery where they trim and clean up my labral tear, clean out the bone fragments and do some resurfacing of the joint - I am hoping for that one obviously!!
Still I have a year to get my head around whatever it turns out to be and I am now coming to terms with the fact there is no getting around this in the long term if I want to be active.
Hell I have been through childbirth I can cope with hip surgery :)
A day off training today as my hip is pretty beat up after the testing at the doctors yesterday but I have plenty to do - no rest for the wicked :)
Newsletter day today so if you are on the mailing list keep an eye on your inbox.

Below are some images of my hip issues if you are interested.
Also I'd love to hear from anyone else who has had similar issues.
