went to the dr this morning.
i made the appt a couple weeks ago, to get my hip checked out.
he's a sports medicine dr...but at a family practice...which came in handy when i had this fever/sore throat for 4 days before the appt that i also wanted to get checked out.
first...i just have a virus. no strep (i was kind of hoping for strep to get some meds...)
how to treat it? she said, "rest."
right. that fits RIGHT into my life.
ha!
second...my hip.
the verdict is that it's "muscular" - which is a good thing.
it's not a stress fracture or some other break/tear with the bones.
i just need to stretch more (or at all! i hardly ever stretch...) and strengthen the core muscles in my hip.
he printed out some exercises/stretches for me.
i will try my best to do them...
i still feel awful.
fever. sore throat.
slept like 3 seconds last night.
i'm frustrated that i'm not being the "fun" mom i want to be for spring break.
and pat is taking tomorrow and friday off for us to REALLY have fun as a family.
i have lots to do to get ready for that:
grocery shop
plan
laundry
clean (so i'm not stressing about that)
and get better.
first i'm going to go break up the fight over who's bag has more goldfish in it... :-)

Sounds weird, but I really wish you'd had strep! (for the meds)
hope you feel better soon! do you think this is what Bailey had for so long?
that's what my hip issue was (kinda) also!
the excerises will help a TON.
It will end up being worth every second.
man I hope you get over this silly virus soon.
hate that for you.
well, i'm relieved about the hip thing. seriously - i was worried when you said maybe it band. so start stretching now! remember, you want to be a LIFELONG runner!!! And I'm sort of sorry it's not strep! at least you'd get the drugs and you know you'd be done in 24 hours!! YUCK. Well, let Pat have some GREAT daddy time tomorrow & friday and get some REST! (And don't sweat it - if Monday doesn't work for you, we can wait and see for another day next week). seriously.
