Proper Walker Attire

No, I'm not talking about proper walker attire to be one of the Walking Dead for Halloween!  

Even though we do watch that show and is our family night main event (yes, we as a family are slightly off)  

I'm talking about what to wear when you are in a difficult situation.  I'm still on this damn walker but at least I've upgraded to the rolator 5000.  I was able to wear a pair of knee high boots one time and the Man bitched the whole time.  He was so afraid that I would hurt myself.  I felt like they were fine I just didn't like that he had to put on and then take off the right one.  Things like that are embarrassing but not as bad as having to ask him to help me get up off the toilet.   

Anybody that has had any kind of surgery knows what I'm talking about.

The latest news is that my hip isn't healing properly.  Not to go into a lot of medical mumbo jumbo which 1/2 I don't understand and the rest you don't want to hear about!  I'll just say that  when you have hip surgery vs. a hip replacement the chances are pretty high that the hip ball joint won't heal properly.  The bottom line for me is that is exactly what my Doctor believes is happening.  I had a CT scan last week and will get confirmation Thursday that I will now have to have my hip replaced.  The only little ray of sunshine is that after replacement surgery the recovery time is nothing compared to what I've been dealing with.  If you take anything away from my experience and ever are in the position to have pins or replacement............Go for the replacement.  Don't even think twice.  Well, maybe twice but not three times.

I haven't posted lately because I've honestly not felt like it.  Even though I've lost 10 lbs since my surgery I just felt kind of lop sided.  Now that I look at my picture I now know it isn't my imagination.  My right leg which is the one that I smashed up is a lot bigger than my left one.  It's amazing what you can see in a photo that you don't see in the mirror.

I did my best in this picture but, it's kind of difficult to set up the tri pod then scramble (not a current doable action for me) to the other side of the room.  Most of the photos just look like a green blur (just goes to show you how little movement can cause a blur!) Finally, I gave up and just went with the best of the worst.  I really just wanted to say hi because I miss all of you.

Also, I opened a teeny, weeny, Etsy shop.  Right now I just have some vintage items listed but as soon as I can get out and thrift I have lots and lots of sketches of things I want to up-style   Wish me luck and stop by sometime.

Have a good week.  Maybe if those walkers from the Dead used my Rolator 5000 they would have a better chance of escaping...........Just a thought!

Linking up with  Patti for Visible Monday and Glamamom for Monday Mingle

P.S.  If anybody can explain to me how to get my Etsy page to show up in a tabbed page on blogger I would appreciate it.  I can only get the items to show up as is at the top, side and bottom of the post.  I can get a page tab but can't get the items on the page.....Make sense??  Also I can't get rid of all the blank space.
