Yay! I’ve had my hard cast fitted now, so it should be easier to do physio, some yoga that’s hands free.

Also had my T Spine and Pelvis, Hips x-ray at a completely new hospital to me. Oldie style hospital but nice enough, I had to completely strip to pants and gown (even had to take surgical stockings off) usually if I’m having a lying down x-ray I can wear clothes as long as they have no metal, so this shocked me.

I wonder why standing x-rays are just a normal way to x-ray? And due to a bright light and positioning for once x-ray, I had to close my eyes, so it was a bizarre feeling. Will this answer my waddling walking ways?! I long to walk without going up and down 😭

Not sure when I’ll hear back from this appointment. So until I do, it’s time to start thinking of physio, and fitness. My back is forever sore,and I’m developing toasted skin syndrome (mottling of the skin due to constant heat!!) So more than ever I need to learn to relive back pain that this hip is causing. (Can’t keep using hot water bottles as it’s causing toasted skin syndrome!!)

Some gentle twists and stretches are super welcome at the moment. I don’t have a yoga block, but I use my aerobic step in its place instead. Ironically my legs do this anyways due to the leg length difference 🤦🏻‍♀️

Warrior one with gentle side stretches, and arm reaches, to keep upper body moving and hips from seizing up.

It’s been 5 weeks since the custom insole appointment, hoping they get in touch soon.
