Uh oh

Good thing I am going to PT tonight as I have NO idea what is going on with these legs, especially the left one. I was limping all day yesterday. I did go to the pool last night and did some walking up and down as well as various leg exercises. I gave my arms a break because my shoulder hurt so much from Monday. Afterwards I walked home and felt relatively okay, though still had a limp. Silly me got distracted and never got around to icing, but I didn't notice so I guess it wasn't bothering me that much. This morning I was okay for the most part at home, but once I started properly walking in the street taking normal steps, my left leg went wonky and I'm limping again. I can't tell if it's more of a labral tear type of thing or it's my psoas. Perhaps it's only my psoas and it is tight? I will see what S at PT can do tonight. Perhaps he has some suggestions for stretching.

At least I got some sleep last night, albeit with some aids, but still, only woke up once and went back to sleep relatively quickly. That's pretty good for me.

Long Weekend

I went swimming again yesterday. The pool by my parents is nice and warm and I definitely prefer that, and also even though 90% of the pool is filled with kids lessons, the one lane left for laps is always free for me! How nice. In the city it's much more difficult to get time in the pool. Afterwards my mother and I went to the food shop and I held up pretty well even though I hadn't iced. The rest of the afternoon was pretty laid back with going over some business items with my dad and then my mother and I made my Gran's mandlebread recipe. It was so easy, albeit messy, but came out soooooo good!

I was doing pretty well until I got up from the dinner table and tripped over the dishwasher door that had been left open (no names will be mentioned ;-) ) I think I was more scared as it was my right leg that whacked into it than anything. I eventually ended up icing my whole leg, bit by bit, as my hip started hurting by then.

Today I was a little achy from the weather but thankfully not too bad in the am. We took my little nephew to the LI Childrens Museum. He seemed to enjoy himself but it is a bit difficult to keep up with him - he's like a little energy filled tornado! I definitely carried him around more than I should have and am already starting to pay for it. Still, wouldn't have changed it for anything.

I don't have PT till Wednesday so will go to the pool after work tomorrow. I'm trying to get the strength up in my legs and also doing some arm exercises - might as well since I'm in there.
