Sorry about the hip. Hopefully you can get some relief on that issue soon. I think your posts are very honest and help others on this forum realize some things as they read your situation and thoughts and feelings. I think that is what this "community" is all about....people helping each other and learning from each other's experiences. I think we all tend to judge ourselves a little harsher, like your response to doodler when you said you were tired of listening to yourself. Girl, I rarely hit submit on a post without thinking that anyone who reads it and isn't in my head knowing exactly what is happening is going to think I'm the biggest freaking looney toon on the planet. You know what I mean? Anyway, hope you had a fabulous weekend and look forward to hearing all about it.
