Never Ending

So I've managed to make something else hurt on me- my lower stomach/groin muscles. Since my hips hurt, I don't really use my leg muscles to lift them- I use my stomach muscles instead. If that makes any sense. So now, my hips are feeling better but my darn stomach muscles kill!

I had my follow-up with the PT this morning. She is sending me back to my regular doctor, Dr. M, so Dr. M can refer me back to the PT. Since the original reason I started physical therapy was for my back, the PT can't do anything with my hips until Dr. M puts in the referral. Plus, I do want to talk to Dr. M about my lose of appetite, fever, chills, etc. The PT said she thinks my hips are hurting because my hip flexors are tight. She suggested doing ultrasound with heat and stretching. I hope she's right- I hope it's just that and nothing more.

Not having the husband around really stinks. I miss him. And our schedules are so different it's hard to talk. He is 3 hours behind so when he is getting off of work, I'm ready for bed. I just hope the next few weeks go by fast, I'm so ready to have him home.
