DOGS!!!!!
We went to the farm this weekend to visit. Jackson wasn't too sure about Daisy but we did get some pictures of them together.
Look Right
I have changed the sidebar of my blog a little bit today. I changed my blogroll to Current Faves and The Old Standbys. Just because sometimes you need to shake things up. I have added a few links. Some are links that I used to post on here about fertility issues and such. I weened down the list of infertility websites that I read to two of my faves who are now Mama's. They are very entertaining and worth the read.
The link that I added is for the writer's blog for Grey's Anatomy. I am ABSOLUTELY in love with this show. I cannot rave enough about this show. I drive Josh crazy talking about the show all the time. I found this link via another blog that I read. The writers post after each episode. They often post about what inspired them to write that story line or why the characters did or said certain things. Definitely a good stop for a person as obsessed as I am!

Welcome to the family!
There have been two unexpected additions to our "family" in the past week. One was expected but not so soon, where the other came out of no where. First off, my parents adopted a dog last week. This is surprising because we were always told that when the dogs that they owned had gone to doggy heaven that they were done. We all knew that this wasn't true because of the way that she fell in love with our little Jackson. She loves to play "go fetch" and makes him cock his head from side to side so that he looks like he is intently listening to you.
We were up in Clintonville seeing my sisters new house and hanging out with the family. We went to the city pound (Brad's group is in charge of care for the animals) to see the cute puppy that Brad was talking about. I think that it was love at first sight for Danny. He loved that dog! She is a cutie! We stole the dog away to the house to meet mom. Mom was guilted into saying that Danny could adopt the dog. So little Daisy is now at the farm raising hell.
The second addition came a little sooner than expected. My friend Heidi was pregnant and due at the end of the month. Betsy's birthday to be exact! I received a phone call Saturday night while I was in the dells for a bachelorette party (another post all together). It was Mitch (Heidi's husband), the message on my voicemail was all scratchy with no voice. So I left the bar and headed outside to call back. I was informed that Heidi was in labor and if I could please come as soon as possible they would like me to tape the birth. We were waiting for the cab to come and take us to another location which was across the street from where we were parked. I ran to the car and called Mitch said I am in the car I am about and hour and a half away, I was gonna stop at home to change clothes and grab overnight stuff and head out. By the time I got home she had already had the baby.
According to both Mitch and Heidi the baby pretty much just fell out. Her labor started at 10:05 at 11pm they called the doctor, she said come in and get checked out. She was at 4 cm and they sent her up to be admitted to her birthing suite. When she got settled in (15-20minutes later) they checked her cervix and she was 5.5 cm. At about 12:30 the anesthesiologist was ordered for the epidural. The anesthesiologist walked out the room at ~12:41, Heidi rolled onto her back at 12:42, baby popped out at 12:43. No big push, baby just came out. The anesthesiologist walked in a few minutes later and took out the epidural. The drugs didn't kick in until after she gave birth. The only people in the room when it happened were Mitch and the nurse. No doctor, nothing.

Finally an Answer!
Well today's Dr's appointment was a complete 180 from last weeks. The MRI went well. I didn't have to go into the machine as far so I wasn't so claustrophobic. I got in to see my doctor with little waiting even though I was almost 2 hrs early. When I scheduled my appointment the receptionist told me to come straight over and check in and I would be seen. So I read only 1 magazine this time. I had an athletic trainer see me instead of tweedle dee and tweedle dum that I saw last week. She even let me know where I was in the line up after I had been sitting there for a little while.
First of all the fact that my knee cap is multipartite is right. BUT it is MUCHO multipartite. The top corner of my knee cap is in a bunch of little pieces held together by cartilage. The doc said that my knee looked solid and that he wasn't sure where the popping was coming from. He felt that scoping my knee would be a waste of time because he would probably get in there and see nothing. He did however prescribe a fancy knee brace for me to wear. The brace isn't all that cumbersome, but it is sweaty. I see my therapist tomorrow and he should be able to give me some further guidelines about when and how long to wear this contraption. So know we can go house hunting without worry of me being off work again for my knee.
Let's see what Dr Mann says about my other hip in November. Let's hope that he has messed with me enough for now. I know that I initially wanted to have the other hip done right away. I am however very nervous about having both sides of my body weakened. I have enough trouble lifting my right leg up I don't want to be unable to do that with both legs. Not right now. I can live with the other hip for now.
