So throwing on at least one lidocaine patch for tonight's party! Right hip is not v. happy with me, but I won't let it spoil the fun!

Monday update

The weekend went okay. I was still a bit sore and achy on Friday, but a night out seemed to help distract me. Saturday the weather was still crap and I was definitely feeling it. Stayed in all day but did get some things done around the house, and also went through a ton of my negatives - am choosing ones that I want to scan when my scanner finally arrives! Did make it out in the evening as I was feeling a bit better. The weather had started to clear up which always helps.

Sunday I went down with a friend to do some volunteer work and being on my feet was not the best idea for three hours. I was feeling it very much in my right hip especially afterwards. I debated back and forth about going to the pool, but finally decided it would be for the best. Thankfully there were no kiddie parties and all the lanes were open so it wasn't too crowded. I stayed in for about 25 minutes, did various leg exercises and then the rest of the time walked up and down the laps. I felt a little sore afterwards on the walk home, but then again, I had been hurting since before the pool.

I felt pretty good this morning, that is, until I was putting on my tights. My right hip went off in some wonky way and has been hurting down the outside of the hip and shooting along the side towards my knee. I'm hoping I just did some sort of slight pull and it will wear off, especially as I'm wearing my high heeled boots today. Fingers crossed it goes away by tonight! Then again, I can always cheat and throw on a lidocaine patch so I'm not a gimp at the party after work.
