Perspective

I was feeling sorry for myself this week. My hip has really been giving me trouble and just keeping up with two little ones in a house full of steps is a constant battle. Everything is tiring with this hip issue. If you are reading this and you have FAI you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I don't even know why it so so exhausting I just know it is. But, I was feeling down and frustrated and hating the fact that I had been improving and now having trouble again.


Until I remembered, I AM doing much better. Yes, I get achy at night and often need to take a warm bath or a few NSAIDs, but last year I was unable to walk from the couch to the kitchen without holding on to something and the pain was extreme.

What I deal with now is not neccessarily what i would choose, but it is what life is handing me at the moment. It really only hurts at night most of the time. I still feel lucky and I'm still doing what I can to avoid or at least postpone surgery. I am ashamed to admit that I have really blown it on the PT lately. I need to get back into a routine and give this therapy the time and the energy neccessary to work.
