Physio visit

Up sharp this morning to walk and feed Phin and Henry before heading off for my stretch class. I think I’m getting the hang of the stretches.

Three loads of washing out on the line to take advantage of the fine sunny day. I tidied the linen cupboard and ran the hoover round the carpets (much needed!) before heading to my physio appointment. My lower back and right hip have been bothering me for a few weeks and I thought I’d better speak to a professional.

I decided to walk as it’s really not very far but as I left a few minutes later than planned, I had to really power up the hill to the surgery. The physio was very thorough and took a history before several manipulations. She thinks I have Greater Trochanteric pain syndrome and has given me some exercises to try and help it recover. I should see an improvement in 6-12 weeks but if I don’t she’ll refer me for further tests.

Despite being told to take things a bit easier I walked to the supermarket and then home again before taking the dogs for a walk. My hip is a little grouchy this evening, I don’t think I need to wonder why!

Miss PHL popped round for dinner and we enjoyed beef tacos with nachos on the side. She stayed with the dogs whilst Mr PHL and I headed to a business meeting at Rotary.

Thanks to Incredibish for hosting TinyTuesday, my poor effort is blueberries which Phin very much enjoys.
