Turns out. The ever present ache in my left hip that EXPLODED Tuesday night and has gone from ache to OWWWWW, may be a bursitis. Ortho appointment on Monday. Til then, apparently it is all pain all the time! And of course, the googling of bursitis.
What have a learned so far? Apparently, I am a 62 year old fat woman. (the average age/weight of people who post on bursitis discussion boards) and also, if it is septic, it has to be drained. As in, with a needle. As in- OWWWWW! And if it ruptures, I could die. All good news, people!
I need a drink.... Or a case of Vicodin. And a drink. With an ice pack chaser.
