39 Days Post Hip Repair

Breaking my own rules…complaining on social media BUT my hip hurts. sigh. :(

I need patience. I know my hip is not that strong right now. I've only been weight bearing for 10 days and walking without assistance from crutches maybe 3 or 4 days. I know that these things take time, but I'm tired of the pain. I'm tired of sitting and hurting, walking and hurting, sleeping and hurting. My only comfortable position is standing still with little weight on my surgical side. And that's about it. Sad, right?

I will get stronger, it will stop hurting, but sooner is better than later. It's just an injury. It's just a long and slow recovery.

I will survive. I will run again. Baby steps.
