sx: hip, the 24 hr aftermath

24 hrs after waking up, this is what my hip looks like. Not too terrible. The betadine refused to come off -- although I did give up pretty quickly after soap and hydrogen peroxide didn't work.Today was pretty smooth for the most part. Was up most of the morning, from 5am or so till about 2. Then I passed out all afternoon for some much needed rest. Got dressed and went out to dinner with 2 friends while one's mom was in town visiting. It was super nice to get out of the house, not that Lexicon hasn't been great company and all. "Nurse Lexicon" has been running amuck all over my bed to get me to play with him. He's only pounced on my leg like 6 times, but he means well ((as seen by him using his abnormally large body mass to hold one of my ice packs in place)). 

I'm getting around the house really well on just 1 crutch, but I still need both when I'm out in public -- mainly to get up and down the scary steep steps to my condo, but also because I get tired quickly on just the one. Well, really on both, as I learned quickly yesterday during the shopping adventure. 

(still pretty excited about my LOFT sale buys!!)
