Scary on the stairs! How's your hip feeling today? And the rest of you? I went to a gym one time that had a special glute machine that didn't require weight-bearing on your feet. I wonder if you could find one of those to help keep your hip strength up, but not set off your ankle?
I am doing well, but my left knee is being a pain in the...well,... knee. It was sooo achy yesterday. I was about ready to just call my knee doc right then and there. They aren't open on Saturday, though. I hope it is just a combination of some overuse, and this big change in the weather. This sort of thing has happened in the past, but I am more paranoid about joint pain now. I have been laying low with ibuprofen, Tylenol, and ice. I did walk the dog yesterday,and today, but nothing else. Knee is feeling quite a bit better today. OTOH, my hip is doing great! I have to remember sometimes that I still am not 100% on the hip, but really, I am feeling pretty normal almost all the time now - like I forget to ice after working out. That is still a mistake, I have discovered, but I don't need to ice or do anything special from just normal walking around and stuff. Not the hip anyway. The knee is being a brat.
