In 12 hours I’ll be checking in and prepping for Hattie’s removal and replacement. Fare thee well, left hip. It was nice to have you around… until 2 months ago when you began your slow, painful death. I feel like I’m stuck in the scene from City of Angels where Meg Ryan takes like, a ridiculously long time to die, even though we ALL know it’s coming.

t- 12 hours
It's not a bomb, it's just my hip replacement... 
Good luck! I hope everything goes well. I’m sure it will. I’ll be thinking about you today.
