Welp... ..
The Dr at UrgiCare told me today he "thinks" he sees a hairline fracture just below my hip joint but his xray equipment is not digital so two of the three xrays are "a little fuzzy" so he's not 100% sure it's a fracture, he's referring me to an Ortho, there's a definite hip contusion, damage to ankle ligaments (but he refused to do ankle xrays for some kind of excuse about radiation overdose), gave me a special inflatable boot with lots of velcro straps, and told me "has anyone ever told you that you have extensive degenerative arthritis in your hip and it's now bone on bone? This makes it very easy to fracture your hip due to how the arthritis weakens your bones."

I said with the Lupus, I'm not surprised. But with all the imaging tests and multiple doctors I've had in the past 5 years, I'm kinda pissed no one found it before or bothered to tell me.
Now this damn boot is aggravating my hip and making it hurt worse. With the Lupus damage to my liver, I'm not allowed much pain meds, so I'm very grouchy and cranky.

But I'm very thankful to my bestie for picking up a yummy dinner and taking care of the wild-child puppy.
