I have lived now with this nearly constant pain in my hipjoint for a couple of years. The hip joint cleaning operation I had in Februari helped, but also showed how badly the joint is damaged (arthrosis) - I saw the colour pictures taken inside the joint (isn't it amazing what modern medicine can do), and they where not pretty. And now I have to face it - The Pain is back...I need a new joint. I'm becoming a Bionic Woman. Everybody who knows me knows also that I don't want to use painkillers, want more soft and holistic alternatives. But little me is definitly not soft, holistic or sophisticated every day..like today: too tired after "pain night", no positive energy flowing inside, no Kabat-Zinn Mindfullness (that has helped me a lot), no bright side anywhere, the cold finnish summer making my cypriot soul crazy - and my dear Antsu has to deal with me as I am like the little finnish hedgehog saying "I'm NOT ****ing calm" ;) He is used to this, (and honestly most the time I am pretty positive) and takes care of me like no one never has done in my life before. We have finnish Midsummer this weekend, the weather is terribly cold, +13 and windy, but we have 3 days of work. Planning to enjoy ourselves with good food and totally relaxing. I'm feeling better allready.
And what is the silver lining? I have accepted that I can't jump or participate in high-impact classes ever again, there is several yoga poses I can't do anymore BUT I have veryvery strong abs now - if your leg is not working properly, you have to use your abs more to move correct. So I share with you a Shiva Rea abs serie I still can do - not alternate the legs in rocking bridge (only with my 'good' leg bent), but anyway. Check this up and try, it's not so hard that it looks like!
- Holistic, Mindfullness and Loving Kindness Hugs to all, P.
