When I awakened in the morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I am very aware of my hips as of late! But when I awaken, I have to sit up in my bed.
That ‘awareness’ becomes pain as soon as I’m starting to sit up in my bed. I moaned and grunted with the best of them this morning as well as I did yesterday morning.
I said the other day that my hips were ‘delicate,’ but I think we’ve gone from ‘delicate’ to ‘fragile!’ I don’t go for another bone density scan until January 2026. But I don’t move at all anymore. I have read so much that bones don’t like NOT moving but that’s what’s happening with me.
Wednesday night, it rained all throughout the night, and the only reason I know that is because I could not sleep at all because my knee was throbbing!!! This was the first time that I experienced pain at this level regarding my knee!!!
I tore my right ACL playing a basketball game my senior year and had surgery in the beginning of January 2000. My meniscus was torn in my right knee on October 21st 2016 at work. I think it was a combination of both those injuries and subsequent surgeries that made it hurt so badly!!!
All I could think of was the drumbeats in Jumanji, but this was just a slow throb! I usually drift off to sleep with the daily Bible reading or a rosary. Wednesday night, I listened to the daily Bible in his entirety. And then I listened to the previous week’s Homily again its entirety. Sleep was not coming at all so I thought to play Rosaries on my phone. I didn’t fall asleep till after I had said five!!!
This is so much now!!!
