"Oh No..."
One of the phrases you don't really like hearing while you are at the dentist, or the barber, or especially in the hospital is "Oh No" This usually means something bad, or something hasn't gone "quite right" well, I heard that phrase at the hospital yesterday while I was getting some more injections done.
We arrived in the hospital and were taken to the waiting room. After about 15 min. The doctor's assistant came in and told us to come back to the work room. He explained to us the procedure, it was a pretty normal one. I was there to get my hip injected with dye to trace where the pain was coming from. Apparently this dye is attracted to pain (that is one trait I am glad I don't have). This way you can see exactly where the pain is coming from. Well, they got me on the table and started getting everything set up and the doctor looked at my x-rays and MRI's and said "Oh No..." (que depressing music)
I was a little worried of what he just said, so I asked what was going on. The doctor said he has never seen anything like this before and doesn't really know what to do. He called a few hip specialists all over and talked with them a bit. After the phone calls, he came back to me and said "You might have a famous hip!" I'm thinking more infamous, but yeah. He went ahead and injected the numbing medicine into my hip. For those of you who haven't had that done, it's the worst part. Kind of painful, I won't lie. Then injected about 6 or 8 different things, dyes, steroids, and something with big names that I can't remember. But thats what happened.
After the injections were done, I couldn't really walk because the pain was so bad and I was really dizzy (my parents said I was really loopy too, but I don't know if I believe them =)) We waited for the doctor to come and report to my parents. He told us that he was really concerned about my condition. He thinks that it is a lot worse than anyone has really said.
With that, he told us to hang out for a little bit to see how I would react to all the injections. So we got some lunch at the cafeteria. Oh, p.s. we arrived at the Hospital at 8:30am, just so you have a time frame about him looking at my images making phone calls. The actual procedure took about 30 min.
I am doing okay now. The pain is still quite intense, so I have been walking with a cane. Yeah... I know. I am 20 years old and using a cane, you can laugh, it's cool. I'll laugh with you. The doctor at the hospital wants to wait 1 full month before I see him again, although I do have an appointment with a hip specialist this monday. Sometimes it's just a bummer to have to wait so long between appointments.
Well, thats my story for you. I hope it wasn't boring, and I hope it made sense. I took some pictures while I was there. So enjoy!

Okay, So I totally love the show "Scrubs" and when we were in the cafeteria, I saw these interns on lunch. They reminded me of the show. I knew right as I saw them that I need a picture with them. So that's what I did. I got a picture with the people who look something similar to the people who play doctor on the awesome show "Scrubs"
oh p.s. I got an awesome hair cut from Jenna Osborn.

That is funny, I think of hospitals like scrubs. I wonder who are the "dr. cox's". But the intern to the left with blond hair kinda looks like elliot, that is what really makes me chuckle. I love your positive attitude and the funny pictures.
