I had a lovely long soak in the bath with my favourite patchouli bubble bar from Lush listening to some of my favourite songs. I can't remember the last time I had a bath rather than a shower. Slept like a baby afterwards.

Did some yoga this morning, made a healthy oatmeal breakfast and found and made an appointment with a new CPA to meet with which has taken a weight off. 50/50 on a walk with the dogs in the cold. Probably a go.

 

[Astrid78]

[foreverforgotten]

I didnt accept plans with someone on my day off. Because I need a day off. I didn't people please.
I was honest.

I went to the grocery store and got two bags of grocery for (at least) the next week. What usually takes me about 45-50 minutes, took move about two and one-half hours tonight because f'd-up hip and major pain on right side of body. Walking uphill is excruciating.

I had to walk two blocks uphill to get there and another block and one-half on flat ground. Got the groceries and started walking home.

This was my pace: small step, small step, small step, plant walking stick onto ground to pivot a step, bend over, pick up one grocery bag and move it forward about 6-8", sort of "glide back down" and pick up second grocery bag and move it forward about 6-8". Small step, small step, small step, repeat.

I made it about one-half block before this really nice European couple offered to help. They carried my grocery bags two and one-half blocks back to my apartment for me!! They were lovely; just lovely. And I got my grocery shopping done.

I MADE MYSELF, I WILLED MYSELF to move outside my apartment and walk outside and get groceries. Yes, it hurt like a new level of Hell, BUT, the walking helps me heal, I got outside, and I got my groceries.

I call that a very successful day.

@RageAgainstTheDyingLight Do you mind if I ask what is wrong with your hip. Is it arthritis, or did you injure yourself. Please take care, and bless the couple that helped you.

Unfortunately it is both injury and arthritis. Yes, blessings to the lovely couple who helped me!

So sorry it causes so much pain. Hip replacements can work wonders, but I realize you are not able to do that right now. Try the "Cryoderm'. It was recommended to coworker of mine by her chiropractor. It works well for her. I use it now too.

Took a long hot bath. Brushed teeth.

@SillyOldBear, the mere thought of a hip replacement is mind-boggling! I will try the Cryoderm.
