Well a couple of days ago my surgeon's nurse called me and filled me in.. somewhat. She said they have the results of my test, and that there is evidence of "torsion". They overnighted the results to the surgeon in Chicago where he can take a better look at them. I guess you literally have to pull out the old trusty ruler and measure all the angles around the socket where the top of the femur goes in (it was a 3D scan around the whole pelvis). So basically I guess the "torsion" is pretty much the angle at which my femur is fitting into my socket ... and apparently mine aren't right (causing the pain and dislocations so easily). They sent them to Chicago, obviously, since thats where I'd have my surgery and because Dr. Stover can better interpret the scan and determine the torsion through my femurs exactly.
So while I know something.. I'm *still* waiting! Figures! I guess I should be use to doctor's time tables, considering I work with them everyday... still, its excruitating being left in the dark about something thats going on with YOUR body.
I'm getting really anxious about it all. Lately I've been feeling a little bit... chemically imbalanced, if you will. Overwhelmed about what the future holds. I've been a bit emotional, feeling like I could cry at any given moment. I'm sure Bryce is loving having a sensitive, easily disturbed wife around the house at the moment, ha! I'll get through it though - we all hit patches like this in our lives at some point!
