Frustrating.
I am trying to not think too much about it without the definitive diagnosis, but in the back of my mind, I know my odds are not good. Hip, hip, hooray.
About 20% of people who need surgery on one hip go on to need it in the other hip. So a large enough percentage to make it something that's a real possibility, while being small enough that it feels like horribly bad luck.
Today I was released from physical therapy until we can determine what the course of action is for the other hip. Because I am only allotted a certain number of sessions a year, we wanted to conserve the remaining covered by insurance for now.
In other news, I completed a three-session intro to pilates. I really like it! It's more strength work than stretching like yoga, and is a serious core workout.
We did some crazy ab stuff in today's session like side crunches from this position:
And whatever the heck this was called:
Have you ever tried pilates? Did you like it?
