Take a look at this thread and see if it describes what you are feeling. There are some stretches provided in the link.

Thanks Jamie,

There's a dead link on that page. The last sentence with the link to "some exercises and stretches" gives me this:

Shawnna.....I'm confused. The link provided works for me to take you to a thread in the BoneSmart Library. I didn't place a link on the words "some exercises and stretches."

I just tried it again both in your quote and in the post I made and the link worked just fine. Could you please try it again and see if you can get to the Library?
 
I can get to the library link just fine. But within that article is a link to exercises at the bottom that is dead.

Here's a screenshot from the library link article with the link highlighted that isn't working.

Ohhhhhh.....now I understand. Let me do some checking into it. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
 
Whew......boy, that thread needed some serious work!!! Thanks again, Shawnna. Sometimes we don't know when the links we have placed in a thread like that stop working. I have put most of the information directly in the thread. Give it a try now and see if it is working for you.
 
Hooray!!!!!
 
Hi Shawnna

Sorry I am behind in catching up with all my BS friends...

Just one thought, have you tried icing while you are resting?

Chat soon xxx Sandy
 
Hope all is better Shawnna--and
Charlie--if the states are too easy try the capital cities! I can never get through or get all before I fall asleep!! :sleep:
 
Hi Shawnna!
How are you today?!
Sorry you are having problems sleeping...I always have, and after the hip surgeries it was pretty brutal!
'Better living through Chemistry' for me...I have been a non-sleeper since I was very young!
I don't do well without sleep...

Hope you are having a better day, and thank you for your kind words. It's really so meaningful to me!

Sandy/Buffi - I haven't tried icing my groin, but I have been using a heating pad, doing some stretches and massaging it myself. It seems to be improving albeit slowly.

It's quite frustrating as I feel I need to be doing more to build back up my stamina.

Laura - your story touched me so deeply. Being a self-supporting woman with a career, house and one son on disability who lives with me, I simply couldn't imaging doing what you've done. It's amazing to me what we can manage when push comes to shove.

I've never, ever had a problem sleeping but for whatever reason, find myself lying in bed, flipping through tv channels trying to get to sleep. Last night I finally slipped off around 3 AM.

What's so scary to me about it is I simply can't function without a minimum of six hours sleep and I'm suppose to start back to work on Tuesday. Yes, it is only six hours a day and I'll be working from home the first week, but I really need to figure out this insomnia issue so I can function.

:what:

I'm thinking it's because I'm just lying/sitting around most of the time trying allow my body to heal. I'm use to working myself to near exhaustion with either work related projects or house maintenance/improvement projects. Wish I could say I'm an exercise fanatic of some sort but the truth is, the only exercise I've ever enjoyed is riding my bike and that's just not possible now until I have more confidence in my new hip.

Shawnna...dont' try to overanalyze your sleeping problems. This is just a typical reaction your body has when you have major surgery. After all, it is a tremendous stressor on your system and it takes a while for things to get settled back into a routine again. You'll have to just go with the flow for a while. Sleeplessness is one of the reasons we hate to see folks head back to work too soon. In your case, you have a benefit by working from home right now. That way you can nap when you need to and you don't have the extra effort getting ready for working and driving to and from. That's a HUGE benefit!!!
 
Working from home part time has been such a blessing. It has felt good to get back to it all, but better to shut it down after four hours!

Unfortunately my son had a seizure yesterday during a power outage. Ambulance came right away and took him to ER where they fixed his dislocated left shoulder.

Then today his other shoulder dislocated so it was back to the ER - all in the worst snow/freezing rain storm I can remember!

Main highway to get to the closest ER was closed so it took us two hours to get home from the ER - basically an all day adventure.

My son Ryan is the bravest Soul I've ever known; he's taught me so much about courage and compassion.

And through all this my hip is pretty sore. Walking on freezing snow is scary!!!

:hate-shocked:

But am grateful to have come through it safely with my son home and in bed resting. Now it's time for a hot bath, some pain meds and sleep.

:bathtub:

Hi Shawnna,

I'm sorry about your son Ryan that sounds very scary and painful for him! You must be emotionally exhausted as well. Hope you both get some rest.

That's great news working part time is feeling good for you!

Sending you lots of love,

Sarah

PS yes walking in snow had to have been über stressful yikes!

Hi Sarah,

Emotionally fragile (and exhausted). I find the least little kindness makes me cry - which is a good indicator. So kind of you to notice as I tend to minimize the impact of all of this on me.

(((hugs)))

(((hugs))) Sandy,

Took two pain pills and am feeling very sleep and fuzzy in the head.

And you're so right - I'm definitely sore after the last two days.

Definitely need to
