more rain...

I hate being a debbie downer, but nothing like a rainy day to increase the pain level. It feels like there is a foreign object inserted in the joint, my inflammation is that bad today!

I can tell you though that the nicest people have come out of all off this. One of my customers, an older woman who had a hip replacement, has offered me her walker and cain if i need it. My new friends are the older women who've had hip replacements...i would have never guessed...

17 days and I'm on the recovery side of this!

good day, bad day

there are good days and bad days with a torn labrum. around that time of the month, cold weather, after deciding you feel like skipping down the street, running in the rain...all times when the pain radiates from the joint. its a pain that is like a memory. your body tenses in anticipation of it. muscles spasm and your body shakes. it honestly takes every ounce of energy out of me. it isn't even that the pain is that bad, it is how my body reacts to it. it also does a mind trick where i emotionally and physically shut-down. it is like my body is self preserving and telling me to stop.

bad day please turn around into many good days...
