Hello to all you fabulous Bloganistas and those of you in training -- well, as you can see from the look on Puff's puss
she is not too happy with what's going on. As I had mentioned before, there was a lot more deterioration to my right hip than the left one and I thought the pain would never get better - careful what you think... . however, it is getting there -- the pain I feel now is not related to the hip replacement.
To cut through the chase -- lots of non-operation-related pains started popping up, cramps and the works -- turns out my Sciatic Nerve has been aggravated and is giving me conniptions - up 3 times last night with pains, I keep the teapot filled -- anyhoo, the steroids really didn't work to alleviate this "condition" so I need special exercises to stretch out the muscle in "me right Butt" where the Sciatic Nerve comes through (P/T explained this to me today) -
My in-house physical therapy finished yesterday and my surgeon has sent me to Heritage Valley Signature Rehab - I met with the P/T this morning and she said that due to the limitations of my hip manipulation she will just do some moist heat therapy and massage plus the hip exercises - really like this woman and I know that with her expertise and my determination, I'll be dancing the Highland Fling in no time, well, maybe a wee while yet. Bob is going to Giant Eagle Pharmacy this evening to get me a moist heating pad -- the pharmacist has put one aside for him - he told me it is a moist/dry king size deluxe one -- woo hoo, what more could a girl ask for!!!
We
are having a miserable heatwave at the moment, however, the powers in
the know say it will be less humid this weekend, we'll see. Wee Corey, he 16 now,
is doing the best he can, he has an appetite like a garbage disposal and
this only comes in to play after he mooches from Bob and me. He sleeps
a lot so we keep an extra close eye on him. Will be taking him next
month for his 6-monthly check-up. He's a great wee man. So on this note I'll say cheerio, toodle pips, au revoir, bye y'all and so on. Until next time - all of you be careful, safe and healthy.
Love to all, "E" and Corey my Wee Pudge Muffin.
P.S. Will let you know how the King Size Deluxe pad works out.
Do you know about Hidden Festivals of Nepal..
