Vehicle Accident and AVN

Hello folks, hope all are well. I am doing well. Two weeks ago I was a passenger in a car accident. It was NOT a major one...I won't bore you with details but it happened and we were rearended. We are both okay but her car has some pretty severe damage. The car that hit us, thank goodness was not going very fast at all. Anyways, I wanted to share that with the FVFG performed on my LH Jan 04, I was scared that something happened. I can remember the doctors mentioning be extremely careful in vehicles and do anything to prevent accidents within the first year especially. Well I am a year and a half out but I was still paranoid! After all that I went through and something as simple as this has a possibility of taking it away from me?!

It took me about 24 hours to come to terms with myself to go get an xray just to make sure I was ok. A precaution. I am okay, thank goodness but I was hesitant to get them. You ask why? I had no symptoms of anything. No pain, no hurting, nothing. But then I looked back and revisited when I started to hurt, limp and contact doctors pre-op and I was at a stage 4b!!!!!! I always have to remind myself that my pain tolerance is extremely high and to reevaluate the situation at hand. I did and like I said, after 24 hours can to terms to get the xray, just to make sure. Sure enough I was/am ok but what a relief that was!!!!!

Every movement I made I thought...what was that?....was that a pain.... Did I feel something? Good greif! Bottom line, its always best to be safe than sorry.

All is well thank goodness again,

5 K Walk Run???? You are kidding!

Feeling GOOD! On Sunday May 22, 2005 the Colorado Rockies HomeRun 5k walk/run occurred. The Rockies werent at the stadium, they were away games but the event ended at the stadium....inside. Why do I tell you this? Because I signed up for it and did it! Granted I am not allowed to run, I walked it all but walked kinda fast until the end when they made you walk around the warning track of the field. Then I was looking at things all over. Not good for a baseball fan to have the walk/run through the stadium.

I did it! I entered and had a number pinned on me 1005. I did so well, it was challenging but did not hurt. If it did or I felt I couldn't do it, I would stop. I wanted to see if I really am doing as well as I think I am. Apparently I am. I am thankful daily that my obscure operation has been successful! Knock on wood.I did this 5k alone and did not advertise it since I am not like that. I wanted to see if I could do it for myself. Then after I told a few people, but not many. I think I can do the Relay for Life in a few weeks.

I placed 1112th out of 1439 and finished in 50:08. Out of 760 women I placed 542nd.

For 35 to 39 year old women I was 54th out of 79 finishers.

Can you believe this!!!! I walked a 5 k! Crazy stuff! Just wanted to let you know I been doing so well. I am thankful every day that I can walk. I know someday that could change but I am sure glad it's not today.

Wow have I come a long way! Sometimes I amaze myself!
