THR Hippity Doo Dah!<

[Klassy]

Interesting about bridges. My home PT had me do some last week but I couldn’t get my butt even a hair off the bed so we stopped.

And there we have it folk, the perfect way to deal with the overzealous demands of PTs. (I’m not suggesting you were pretending Jennylynne. Just recommending that the rest of us do!)

Another big Happy Birthday to You from me.

I was having physic privately and the clamshells screwed me up early on. I took the advice from this forum and refused to do bridges. Even now I am scared to try… Icing, elevating and taking painkillers regularly sorted it out. I was furious re the setback but lesson learnt. Happy Birthday Carrie-May and hope you can have some cake whilst in the elevated position…

PS had a really rough time at the dentist yesterday Got home, sat in the car and cried - I had held it together until then. My husband gave me a big hug, codeine with paracetamol and strong rum with orange juice (not medically recommended). I felt a lot better after that! We went out for a curry where I had lentils with rice which was all I could cope with. However, the staff were delighted at how I was walking and offered me my usual cushion to sit on but I didn't need it. It is the small things… I hope you feel better very soon x

Happy Birthday @Carriemay60 Hope you’re feeling better today. Your hubby sounds so sweet. I’m glad he takes such good care of you. Sending wishes for a wonderful, pain free year.

@SurreyGirl That is a pity about the dentist. Not sure I can imagine rum & orange juice together but anything for medicinal purposes get a wave by. I hope your mouth is feeling much better today

I wondered about the rum and orange juice too??? Never thought of that combo but maybe I'll add it to my list to try sometime!!!

 

[Carriemay60]

Wow! What a bunch of great friends! Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday! Yes stay away from them bridges...I also had a lot of pain from marching slowly up and down a long room at PT a few weeks ago. I have returned to PT after a 2 week break and only do mini squats, toe raises which help the most and squeezing a ball while lying flat. For the rest he massages gently my swollen thigh and stopped doing rotations. Hopefully the pain will subside today with all the icing and rest and you can get back to walking outside and more.

Speaking of age, maybe you should change your user name to 60billy instead of 59billy!!! Happy birthday @Carriemay60 and happy belated birthday Mister Billy!!!

Here's a birthday flower and a toast to a year of happiness and good health.

Nah

Nah, 59 is the model year, like a '59 Harley or a '59 Les Paul.

Hear is to all us 59-ers and Happy Birthday @Carriemay60 . Your sense of humour is superb. Let me know how you are getting on re the big “60”..... I think I am in denial about my impending 60!

Re the physio. A really good distraction technique is to ask for a good massage to relieve the tight muscles and get away with no clams, bridges or other evil ways of trashing your hip. Worked for me ;-)

 

[SE Florida]

How are you doing today @Carriemay60 ? Hopefully doing much better, keep us posted!

 

[Carriemay60]

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Although still pretty sore, I had a really wonderful day. My son took me over to the mall for a spring clothes shopping spree. I told him how lucky I felt feeling like they stocked the racks with exactly what I had in mind. He replied "that's because you want everything"! Lickily he knows better than to tell his dad just how successful I was

Out for Korean Bbq grill last night which was fun and delicious. I got home exhausted and JUST got out of bed at 1pm.
I'm a good bit less sore today but not completely over that physio. Should be back to where I started by tomorrow and definitely won't be letting that happen again!
