Thank you, Judith. I hope to stay connected but likely won't be frequent. Lots going on but will surely check in. When I return home, I'll likely have some questions on your moving expertise, Judith. Hugs!

I saw the neurologist today. My condition is called meralgia paresthetica, it's a damaged nerve in the lower abdomen. No treatment, only hope it will disappear one day. If not the body will get used to the damaged nerve, she told me. I'm glad it's nothing serious and at the same time sad nothing can be done to fix it.

Well, at least you have a diagnosis and it is nothing serious or hip related. I'm just sorry you have to live with the pain and limitations until it fixes itself. Did she share her theory on what caused this? Was it surgery related? I know when they replace a hip joint they twist your body and leg every which way when they install the new hip joint. They did mine, anyway. I remember my stomach muscles and leg muscles hurt following surgery. Never asked why cause I didn't want the mental image (lol) but they said pain was normal and would go,away, which it did.

It wasn't related to the hip surgery. It might have to do with the racing bike I bought 3 months ago.......LOL. After over 25 years of having to deal with wheelchairs and such, I was able to ride a bike again about 4 years ago. After the second hip replacement I purchased a racing bike........and that might have caused this. I still can ride my 'normal' bike though!!

I had no idea you suffered for so long, Anael. That's awful. I got back on a bike after my surgery, too. But not a racing bike. Lol! you go girl.......I was most happy when I could ride my Harley again.
Take care of yourself....

A Harley............oh wow, that's one of my dreams but never going to happen. Oh well, doesn't matter. I love riding my bike, even if it's not a racing bike. I gave away my car......hahaha! Didn't use it anymore so why keep it and pay insurance and taxes?

Bikes -wow! the closest I deal with bikes is when South Dakota gets overrun each year for the Sturgis rally. It's kind of neat because "rolling thunder" really does describe it. We live about 4 miles north of the interstate and during "biker week" you can hear a constant rumble of the traffic on the interstate.
I guess I must have fallen on my head or something - I bought the Dear Jane EQ software. My plan is to do as much applique as possible, using my Destiny for fancy stitches and such. I've been having fun learning the embroidery part and this will give me lots of practice.
