Let me start by saying how unbelievable it is to me that nothing has "really" changed with the amount of pain my hip and leg are in, yet I feel no pain. The power of these drugs is making my brain not register the pain. Unbelievable to me. I'm extremely grateful, yet it scares me at the same time. My leg is definitely part of my body, attached as it always has been, yet it really is just along for the ride as I make sure that it moves with the rest of me.
Getting the advice from a co-pilot (thanks Marion), my husband drove right into the Kennedy Center rather than taking our usual route from Vienna Metro. We were able to park practically at the entrance door in the garage. We started the afternoon with a Chai Tea Latte and a sandwich from a little coffee shop across the street.
The security guards were obviously not busy yet so I let them join me in the picture!
The show was fantastic ~Snap, Snap ~ Everything about the day was GREAT!
We pushed ourselves beyond our comfort zone. We are both afraid of heights, yet the tickets I bought were in the 2nd tier???? We were REALLY up there! I'm just a country girl pretending to live in the theater district! Next time, I'll get tickets that are back on earth...but for yesterday, we were flying high!

I was so anxious o know if you were able to go to the Kennedy Center. YEAH!! I am so happy that you were able to get relief from the meds. I'm sure your leg still knows it belongs to you. Put an ankle bracelet on to remind it. I love ankle bracelets, even though only the "loose" girls in high school wore them:) My heart is just singing thinking of you with so much less pain. XOXO
Wahoo! So glad you made the show and had a wonderful day. Love the pics.

Yay! I'm so happy that you were able to make it to the show! Making enough happy memories to carry us through the tough times is what we all hope for... And you just added a biggie! I say you follow Caroljean's advice and put a little ID tag on your leg to let it know who it belongs to. Though this medication is really strong and a little scary, we're so lucky to live where we have access to such fantastic treatments. And, girl, you NEED that medicine right now so that you can feel like you again. Just don't get feeling so well that you start "busting a move" all over the place. That may be a bit much for your leg! ;)
Much love,
Rosemary

Thank you, Jesus, for strong pain meds and relief from pain! Sharon, seeing you smile as you're enjoying your chai tea is a priceless picture. What joy it gives me to know you had a fantastic day with your dear husband.
You are loved and held dear by so many...

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time! You deserve it! It's nice to get out and enjoy a show - distance yourself from the cares of the day and just enjoy yourself. I know it can be difficult to do that lately. And I'm so glad pain is under control. And you look wonderful!! xoxo
