Thursday July 9, 2009: The verdict is in!

The verdict is in. It is hip arthritis, wear and tear. I will be having 4 weeks of PT 3X a week, with the evaluation next Tuesday at my usual PT place, but not with the PT guy had the last time, but the guy who was becoming the new boss/head when I was there in the fall. I also have to wait for the hospital to call to schedule a cortisone shot injection. With hip cortisone shots, it has to be x-ray guided so it has to be done at the hospital! Hopefully they won’t take forever to call to schedule it. Not surprised this was the finding, but am surprised about the PT which I’m sure will be helpful, just time consuming!
