Today was my first day back at work. I am not even done with the day but am pretty wiped out. NYC buses really need to get their act together. Why do they all have to hang out for a coffee klatch and then at the same time all arrive? I waited for almost half an hour for the 5th ave bus today. During that time my left hip started to kill and my back hurt from my bag, which has turned into an intense neck pain now. So frustrating. At least it didn't rain on me, though it looks like the heavens are going to open up at any time. But I still feel like a snail going at this pace. I am normally a very quick walker, so it is so frustrating!
My office is being amazingly understanding and letting me come in a little late this week, which helps to take the pressure off. And most of the bus drivers, whilst they can't tell time, are very patient with me boarding the bus. I am hoping each day just get a bit easier.
Pain in the right hip has been tolerable, and I haven't (touch wood) had the need to take a pain pill in a few days. I did take a muscle relaxer last night because my psoas has been so tight for the last few days. I notice it especially when I walk.
As for PT, they couldn't get me a late appointment for this week, so I rang yesterday to see if they could squeeze me in, but no luck. I rang back asking if there was anything all week, and they said possibly on Wednesday but they'd get back to me. I still haven't heard so will ring them shortly. I don't really want to miss PT at the fourth week out. I did have my appointments booked for the next four weeks so at least I don't have to worry about that.
PS - just heard from the PT dude and thankfully they can get me in tomorrow at 4pm, so am relieved about that.
