In Slow Progress

For the longest time, I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my left hip. I've been to orthopedic doctors before, but they gave me options I wasn't comfortable with. I also get cortizone shots every six months, but those only last a month, two months at the most.  I went to an orthopedic yesterday with my surrogate Dad and my friend, Andrea, for moral support. The doctor showed us my x-rays and he told us that I'm a special case, because it's rare that he sees cases such as mine. He referred me to an orthopedic in a city a couple hours away. I have yet to see him, but I hope and pray that there is something that can be done to where I'm not hurting all the time. That would be a dream com true.
