Pain update: I was so happy a week ago because I was almost pain free. But since then it's progressively been getting worse. It's actually moved to the other side and encompasses my whole hip. I had to go to the doctor today in hopes of getting some pain medication. I was embarrassed to tell him what was wrong because it all just seems so inexplicable. Well, he wasn't one bit surprised and said the reason was that for over a month my left side had been overcompensating for the weak right side. So he prescribed two different medications and referred me to a physical therapist. I couldn't get an appointment until Monday, so was really hopeful the pain meds would help. Well... not so much, but it's better than nothing. And then I wonder if this couldn't just go back and forth from one side to the other. Yikes!

I was unable to walk the dogs today and so my walker is back. She can't come tomorrow, so not sure what will happen. My babies do not like to go in the backyard and normally I'm just fine with that. Plus, I have to get better for my trip to California in two weeks. I've been on the phone with Andrea and Gretchen today, planning our activities. Can't wait!
