Sleeping that is. I took one of my "magic pills" on Friday night and I actually slept through the night. Well, sort of. At least when I would wake up and shift positions I passed out straight away. Unfortunately that magic didn't work quite as well last night.
Yesterday was a big one. There was an Oktoberfest around the corner from my flat, just one block mind, so I thought it would be nice to go out and test the walking. I was okay getting to the end of the block, but after stopping for a slice, I was wiped out and getting back home was beyond a challenge. The hip wasn't too bad, but the left hip was hurting like hell and I thought my hands were going to fall off. I iced all four when I got home for a bit before we left for the island. I must have been exhausted because I slept most of the ride out there and then for another hour or so when I got home. Perhaps that is why I didn't sleep too well last night.
My mother just got back so I suppose I must get myself sorted with a shower, PT, etc. so I am signing off for now.

pics of the machines
My nephew hanging out with me whilst I am on the Game Ready machine. This one freezes and applies pressure to the hip. The millennium crutches are in the back.
*******The CPM Machine - Constant Passive Motion

It is much more attractive with an adorable nephew posing in it...

The CPM in action. It moves your leg back and forth from a 0' to 90' angle. It also weighs a hell of a lot!

I just had to add this one of my nephew!
