I got a test done recently.
The doctor's office called today and asked me to make an appointment.
They said they can't tell me the results over the phone, I have to go in person.

I started looking up what I might have on the internet based on what limited info I have.
I might have to get a hip replacement.
I'm scared.

I haven't exercised in over a year because I had other injuries to deal with.
Now I might just have chronic pain for the rest of my life.

I want to be active and be able to move around.
I don't want to be sedentary.
I sometimes fantasize about driving around the country in a van.
I know that sounds dumb, but it seems interesting to me.

I also might lose my insurance soon.
I wish I lived in a country with better medical care.
 
I feel the same way when I think of all the money I have sunk into hospital stays and mental health treatment. I wish that I wasn't so dysfunctional that I could manage this myself, and I'm not sure what I can do. I have thought about driving around the country in a van, but I have made too many cross country road trips for that to satisfy me.

I'm sorry that you're suffering from injuries and depression. Hopefully the news won't be what you think it is, and that either way you can find a way to manage in life.
 
Good news!
I don't need surgery.

My hip fell out of the socket, but no damage to the bone or cartilage.
I just have to rest a lot.
Thank you for your support.

Sorry I started worrying over nothing.
I know I do that a lot.
I'm working on it.
