Warning, broken girl!



I went to the doctor for my hip :( Yes I know that I said I was going to go earlier but then it stopped hurting. Unfortunately, my hip didn't stay better. I haven't been running and I've only been climbing and walking to and from school. Well, last weekend David and I took a long walk around a neighborhood and that did it, my hip started hurting again and David said that I had to go to the doctor.

I went yesterday and as I suspected the nurse practitioner said that it sounds like my hip is inflamed and that I'm just not giving it enough time to heal. So she gave me a prescription for Naproxin (sp) and told me to not do anything for two weeks. No running, no climbing, no nothing :( I'm quite depressed. She said that after the two weeks then I can start up, slowly, running and climbing again. So I guess that's good.

The bad news is that I am kind of skeptical. I think that once I start running again that it's going to get aggravated again. If that happens then I have to go back and get an X-ray and do physical therapy. Not cool! So I'm an invalid again. It's funny because I'm worried that even walking to school is going to stop it from healing all the way. But what can I do? I have to go to school and work and even if I drove there is still the hill to climb!
