Going back to the ortho tomorrow

I miss walking without pain! 

I miss running

I miss working out a lot!

I missing playing with the poodle 

But here's this weeks questions

Day 15: a song that makes you cry and why

Ohhhh holy hell - mommas shoes. Have you heard that song? It makes me cry like a baby! 

Day 16: someone you trust

The poodle! I trust a lot of people with a part of me but the poodle is the only one I trust with all of my craziness

Day 17: your idol and why you look up to them

My mom! She was never supposed to walk or talk... But her parents didn't give up on her and they made her into an incredible human

Day 18: why you made your blog, why you still have it

Good question. I think I started it because everyone I knew was starting one and I still have it because I'm alone everywhere and this is where I talk to people

Day 19: your thoughts on your family

It's complicated

Day 20: what you think makes someone beautiful

Gentleness kindness love

Day 21: everything you wish for in a significant other

The same as 20 and foot rubbies!!!!

Do you like foot rubs?

A 3 day post

So this has taken me 3 days to write. I keep sitting down to write it and having to stop because I'm in pain. These hips of mine are for the birds!

A month ago today I was running 13 miles - today I'm hobbling through the store. I'm going to PT and the chiro and hearing that "I need to take it easier" really? What's easier than nothing? Because all I am doing these days is sitting on my ass envying all the people who are getting in shape for the new year.

Day 8: things that make you sad

Most often it's just me that makes me sad. My thoughts, my fears, my me...

Day 9: things that make you happy

The poodle. A good run. Making stuff for people. A pedicure.

Day 10: what you think when you hear the words “be yourself”

I wonder who I am :-/ seriously I have no clue who myself is

Day 11: the worst advice you’ve ever heard, or ever been given

A family member told their daughter not to be a hair dresser because its not a career that'll make them money. I totally disagree and also think that money isn't the be all end all and if someone loves their job...

Day 12: the best advice you’ve ever heard, or ever been given

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. My mum used to say this all the time and I think she meant it like don't not do something you want to do because you're mad at someone else

Day 13: your favorite quote

The only way around is through 

Day 14: write about something you believe in, anything at all

I believe that love can fix anything and that's why animal therapy works. Animals love just about everyone 

Pick a day... Any day... Answer it

Trying out the cheap hips

I've been having some hip problems pretty consistently since August. I fell at an obstacle race and since then my hips have well sucked... 

Here's the timeline:

At first I ignored it

Then I saw the dr who sent me to pt for what he said was a torn glute (aka pain in my ass)

PT disagreed and sent me back to the dr who sent me for an MRI 

MRI said torn labrum and SI joint inflammation on my right leg

Back to pt and add in chiropractor 

Been doing both multiple times a week 

Back to dr Cortisone shot

Still chiro and pt

Back to dr because sitting hurts running hurts standing too long... You get the picture here!

2 more cortisone shots 

4 days of HELL pain where anything but laying in my bed was impossible 

🎄Christmas🎅

Next day dr says I'm good to run again BUT

I get sick...

2 extra days off of all workouts.

Yesterday spin and barre class

And I'm back from the run soooo...

Today 6 slow & flat miles and 4 miles in if there was a saw near by I would have chopped at least one leg off to make it stop hurting...

So tomorrow is another call to the ortho to see if he has any great ideas...

I'd love to celebrate ANYTHING march 16th when I'm scheduled to run my next half... But since I've been DNSing races like crazy lately we will see...

Got any words of wisdom? Either on how to fix my cheap hips OR how to deal with yet more down time :-/
