#bad hip

[lingeringmirth]

Yes, body, I do enjoy the pain you inflict on me which makes it hurt when I laugh... Expect angsty and/or hc fics for the next few days as I deal with this. (I'd be so much happier if I could distinguish if this is more joint, nerve or muscle pain. I so need it not be joint pain...)

Hey, guys, I don't usually post this sort of stuff, but this little gem is in some pretty dire need.

Carl the Kitten was found in the parking lot at a local hospital two nights back with a leg that wasn't working right. He was taken to the vet and it was discovered that his hip is dislocated and causing the little guy pain. He's a small, very affectionate little thing, despite being left out in an almost entirely deserted spot in town (if he's lost, he's managed quite awhile with his bad hip...)

Carl's going to require surgery to get his hip relocated, and we're working out hardest to pull together what we can so this kitten has a less painful shot at life. The surgery's gonna cost upwards of $400, and we need all the help we can get making it to that goal. 

Please, spread the word and help this sweet, loving little thing out. Anything-- anything at all-- will help move us forward.

So I overestimated myself just a little bit I did 10 clean & jerks and then 10 back squats with 75 lbs I haven't done anything like this in a while so it felt pretty good except my hip was bothering me a little on the squats

So apparently running twelve miles on the beach was a bad idea because my hip is screaming every time I move and so is my little Thai pain relief doctor.

Disappointment

I really don't ask for that much from my friends, all I want is that every once in a while they will think of my pain,  yet I never fail to be disappointed...

When "we must have lunch" in a restaurant a 15 minute power walk away and go with someone else when I say I can't walk that far.

When they run when it rains and I can only catch up ten minutes later soaked from head to toe because I physically couldn't walk any faster and they had the umbrella.

When they sprint the last street to the bus stop because it's leaving and keep their foot in the door yelling hurry hurry even though they know I can't.

When I have to ask them to take a taxi with me, I'll pay and they show their annoyance, if only briefly. 

When I have to sit out a walk on the pier or in a park, and no one stays with me on the bench.

When they don't care, time and time again. I never fail to be disappointed in them. It breaks my heart every single time. I'd do those simple things without question for any of them, maybe it takes suffering to breed compassion. Perhaps they are just too carefree to care! 

I hope at some point they will all learn compassion, and some days I think if they are not kind to me why should I be kind to them, but it doesn't work like that.

I will always show kindness to those in pain and suffering, that is one of the most important things that chronic pain has taught me.

Take my hip, please

I'm really not joking here. This has become ridiculous, almost a week of serious, don't make me get out of bed unless the house is on fire or you can't bum a ride to work kind of pain. I fear it may be time to bite the bullet and get a prednisone scrip. Yech. I just have to remember that I always feel better once I'm through the course.

Oh. Joy.

The pain meds have kicked in, so now the ice pick jabbing into my hip feels a little duller! Fucking weather changes, it's wreaking havoc on my poor leg.
