'The basis of optimism is sheer terror.' – Oscar Wilde

Sometimes finding something wrong is a good thing. For the past several weeks (months, maybe) I've been having pain in my hip. Last week I had an ultrasound to see what was actually wrong. Today I met with a specialist. She said either a muscle tear or swelling and inflammation are likely the problem. In one sense this is a positive result because I'm not crazy or a hypochondriac. There really is something measurable wrong. Through past experiences and the intangibility of migraines, I sometimes start to wonder if it's all in my head, metaphorically. I'm glad there's a good chance this hip issue isn't chronic. Already it's a better diagnosis than migraines.
