MRI Results . . .
And the diagnosis is
labral tear and hip impingement!!! I knew I wasn't nuts. Doc said there was a lot of stuff going on in that area, that he confirmed a lot of scar tissue in that area and most likely I'd injured it previously but like an idiot (my words) kept running on it.
Peoples of the Earth who happen to read Xanga (what a tiny Venn diagram overlap that is, amirite?), I don't know the difference between ache and pain or the point when nagging pain becomes severe injury. Is it because I gave birth, that whole labor pains can live through anything pains? WTF? Give me the drugs. Just dope me up.
Doc said I need osteochondroplasty. Link is kind of graphic.

Anyway, this means I need surgery. They've scheduled it for November 20th and for the first several days, I have to wear a hip brace, only taking it off for physical therapy exercises and to bathe. But it says in the instructions after the ok, I need to cycle 20 to 30 minutes twice a day to aid muscle recovery. Even though it'll be 0 resistance, ugh, sitting in that saddle? That's probably not going to be comfortable. I guess I'll switch the pedals so I don't have to wear my cycling shoes. After surgery, I'll need about 4 months of physical therapy. Probably not the nice kind where I get my crotch massaged for 45 minutes.
So throw finding a house on top of all my things to do before the end of the year. I'm talking with Christoph tonight on what this means when he comes to visit. It's now IF he comes to visit because honey's horny as a damned 15 year old and isn't taking the fact I can't move my hips for a few weeks very well. No, dear, you're not acting like an asshat at all! I'll let him have his hissy fit.

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that! Glad you have an answer though. Is there anyone around who can help you with the house bit while you focus on your body?
@Shahrazad1973 - I proposed (yeahhhh, let's see if this works) that I pay rent through December since I'm assuming she rejected the house offer. I said I'd be out by the end of the year. I think it's best for all parties but she has to communicate that she accepts. If she doesn't accept, then I'll be out sooner and will need to figure something out. I told her I was having surgery on the 20th so hopefully she's sensitive to that but I honestly don't think it matters. If I want to be an asshole, I can contact the bank and say I'll buy the house for what she owes which is well below $100k as they complete foreclosure. I haven't ruled that out. If she says rent will be over $1,000 a month, I'll go full on asshole mode.
@Lenore_Happenstance - why did she reject your offer? Was it her or the bank that rejected it?
@Shahrazad1973 - I was begging her to be more communicative because since she defaulted on her mortgage, I don't know how long I have before the bank kicks me out of here. I also tried to ask her how to send the freakin' rent to her directly because, wouldn't you know, I can't guess her account numbers. Fuck it. I lost patience. I'm going to buy a little house and one day, this place will go to somebody who can love it properly.
@Lenore_Happenstance - I hope you find the perfect one, my friend.
