can it get any worse? yes!

Hey friends! thought i would update you all on this whole stupid surgery shiz i got going on! As we all know i am having to get hip surgery March 1st of this year. Well lets just say i knew the basics of the surgery like the having to stay in the hospital, being in a wheelchair, crutches etc... Oh boy was i wrong there is soooo much more!

Today i had to go to a hip class! like really a hip class? am i back in school or something? i had a packet that i had to fill out and had to be lectured for an hour and a half.. oh did i mention that every person in that class was OLD besides me?? yeah i felt pretty stupid for having to get something 60 year old's get! bahaha.  I do have to admit though old people are freaking hilarious they were for sure cracking me up while sitting in class!! there was an elderly woman who was sitting there the entire time asking a crap load of questions that had already been talked about like 5 times, but what makes it funnier for me is before i had even gone into the class i was texting my friend Kory and was just explaining to him i had a feeling some elderly person would be repeating things over and over and over! well i was right! haha.

Well anyways we had a booklet that we had to look through along with things that we have to get for after our surgery! let me just show you some of the things! you will just die of laughter at these crazy technologies that people have come up with:

this would be called a toilet riser! i have to use this cause i cannot go that low to sit on the potty! haha

we call this a sock donner! this is how i have to put on socks and i have one just like that to put my pants on as well!!! 

well if you didn't know what this is called your dumb first off.. its a grabber! this is how i will pick up anything i need or want! i will not be able to bend i have to stay 90 degree angle!


well of course this is my mobility and these are how i will be getting around for the next 8 months to a year!!

also i will be getting a new bed! i have to have a bed that is level with my waist if not shorter so i will be able to get in and out of the bed at a 90 degree angle, and all i will be wearing for these next few months is sweats and baggy t-shirts! how sweet is that? not having to get ready! wahooo ha. 

SO as you can tell... i am pretty much going to be handicap and will not be able to do much or have any mobility! haha But seriously like if you just look at some of these pictures i cannot help but to just laugh!! Especially the toilet seat one! bahahaahahaha. YOU are all going to be jealous i know and understand!!! so you people best come visit me! i will need it! :))))
