Sore, sore me

I was a very bad girl on Wednesday and missed PT. I was feeling like crap and the thought of having to go was making me feel worse. I much preferred to go home and curl up on my comfy couch, watching old classic movies like Houseboat. You've got to love Hollywood, a 24 year old Sophia Loren with a 54 year old Cary Grant! Nevertheless I always seem to get sucked into that film.
So that was me being good and taking it easy.

Yesterday my right hip was still in pain, and when I went out after work I was limping quite a bit because as well as my hip, my knee had decided to hurt again - constantly! It's such fun in my world. Didn't do too much walking last night, but more than I should have. I don't know why but I was stubborn and refused to get a cab home.

This morning the knee is still not happy and neither is my right foot. About 4 years ago I went to see a physiatrist about my foot. She never did x-rays or anything, just threw me into PT. That worked and it's been relatively good since. However, with some of the new exercises at PT for my hip, it's been flaring up again. Today it's quite bad. I have now put on lidocaine patches on my foot and my knee. I will keep that company in business for sure!
