Recovery

Last night was a bit nuts, open vodka bars are v. dangerous. But I must say that between the vodka and the lidocaine patch on my right hip I seemed to hold up relatively well. I definitely should not make a habit of wearing those almost 3" heel boots though. I am paying for it today. The front of my hips are sooo sore, as well as my right knee. I have PT tomorrow, I missed yesterday for the fundraiser do, so hopefully I will fell better. I have to admit though I feel frustrated and like I've hit a wall. I can't increase the weights because it irritates everything else, so the strength is slow in returning. Also think I've been doing too much running around and as much as I enjoy it, I must stop it as it's still too soon to do too much. At least that's how it feels.

Oh, and my tooth/jaw/whatever part of my mouth, hasn't stopped hurting since it started a couple of weeks ago, but I am loathe to go see a dentist after last time. I keep hoping it will just go away on it's own.

Even though the weather is crap and I feel like crap I am going to make a concerted effort to get to the gym after work. At least in the pool I feel somewhat normal and it's good to do some exercise finally! I'm trying to go at least two times a week, but aiming for three. It all depends on my schedule.

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.

This weather

sucks! That's about it really, I'm dying here. It feels like someone is crushing me from the inside out.
Ok, that's it for the complaining.

Apprehensive

about the snow and ice, that is. It wasn't too bad getting to work this morning but I am concerned as they said it was meant to get quite icy. I will have to be extra careful. I really should have been someplace warm this weekend so as to missed out on this storm - it's making me pretty achy. My hips are sore, but I think it's a combination from the over-use and the fibro.

On the YAY side, my limp seems to be 99% gone today so that is great!
