As Brie mentioned in her post we spent Sunday at my Dad's planting the spring vegetable garden. Well, after we left my Dad's I rightfully felt a little sore. I had been squatting up and down for over two hours first planting, then helping to fix the irrigation system and my lawnmower. To top it off when we got home I mowed the front lawn. I wasn't expecting what would happen next.

When I woke up Monday morning I could barely move my legs. I was in even more pain then when I drove across the country back in 2005 and had to be put on muscle relaxers and anti-inflamatories. The pain was intense and located in my thighs or so I thought. As I began to slowly feel better over the course of the week I began to realize the pain wasn't just muscle strain as I had thought. I am having serious issues bending at the hips. This concerns me. For the last 5 years I have had steadily increasing issues with my hips, in particular my right hip. I've been afraid to go to the Doctor because I'm not sure what he will say, I certainly don't want to be told that eventually I'll have to have my hips replaced, that thought frieghtens me to no end, I've never had surgery in a hospital before.

So for now I've been taking hot baths and the occasional anti-infammatory, but if I'm not better by tomorrow afternoon I'll just have to bite the bullet and go see the Doc, at least I'll get some muscle relaxers.
