Last night was terrible. I was in pain all night but did not want to take may medication, hoping that ice would help. It di but it was not enough. I could not get comfortable and by the morning I was close to tears. I called the surgeon's office and left a message for a request for an appointment and for PT. I think that I am making things worse by walking incorrectly. I think I need assistance in correcting my gait and I would be better off with shorter quality walks rather than longer walks. Not only does my hip hurt but now my knee.
I am planning on staying home today to rest and recover and await a call from the doctor. Fortunately I have summers off. I am so glad I scheduled it for the beginning of summer. I can't imagine how people would do this if they had to go back to work right now.
I heard from the doctor's PA. They are sending me a script for PT. My symptoms suggest just what I had figured. I need to strengthen my leg and get my gait straightened out. I will also be having aqua therapy but not until after the sixth week.
I rested most of the day and went to teach in the evening. I am sure that the damp rainy weather is not helping either. Hope tomorrow will be better.
Stay tuned!
Namaste
Donna
