Oh, the Pain...

I don't know what I did to myself, but OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Ow. For the past few weeks, I felt a bit of a twinge in my left hip when I stood up. Nothing major. I brushed it off as 1)getting older 2)being fat. Although it's not in my right hip, and it's not like I'm fatter on my left side than I am my right side. Anyhoo, for the past two days, I've been in absolute agony. I mean to the point where I have to grit my teeth to haul my butt out of my chair. And when I need to pee, I sit and consider if peeing is worth the pain I'm about to go through (as in, do I feel like standing and walking 30 feet? Nah, my bladder can hold it, right?) Well, I really overdid it tonight. I took the kids to Open House at their middle school, and I walked for over an hour. Limping, of course. I looked silly but hey, I promised them. Well, we finally got into the rental car, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Drove home, which took all of 15 minutes. And when we got home, I couldn't move. As in, I couldn't put weight on my left leg to shift out of the car. So I had to cross my right leg over my left, and stand on my right leg first, and then slooooowwwwwlllllyyyy maneuver myself into a standing position. And it hurt oh so bad. To the point where tears came to my eyes. I will be going to bed tonight with a sink full of dishes, garbage can full, and cups all over the house. I simply can't walk around the house to pick anything up. Thank God, Mr. R will be home tomorrow. I am supposed to go to a department meeting tomorrow, and I don't see how I could possibly make this meeting. I won't be able to even walk through the parking lot unless I am healed by HIS GRACE tonight. I may even call out of work to take myself to the hospital. I am about to take a shower, and I am truly concerned that I may fall in the shower and not be able to haul myself out of there. I am concerned that I may have actually popped my hip right out of the socket, that's how bad it feels. I'm sitting in my office chair right now, and my left leg from the hip down is completely numb and tingling. Yeah, I think I may have broken my hip, and I'm 33. Stay tuned...
