Here we go again...

So, remember in my last post I talked about how excited I was to start running again? That's all down the toilet now...

I came home from work last Wednesday from a long stressful night. I was getting ready for bed, doing the usual routine in the bathroom...was face, brush teeth, ect...when the cat knocked something over in the livingroom. I turned suddenly, hoping that the noise hadn't awakened my sleeping husband. When I turned, there was a horrifying pop/crunch/pop in my right knee and an even bigger pop in my right hip. The muscles in the right side of my back spasmed in sync with the popping and crunching. It took all I had to not scream.

Needless to say, the noises my knee made were due to overstreching a small ligament and popping my patella out and then back in. My hip is much more complicated. I stretched my hip abductor which has since over-tightened and pulled other muscles out of alignment (namely my gluteus medius). I most likely have bursitis in my hip as well. I'm hoping it's not going to take needle aspiration to fix the bursitis. As for everything else? You guessed it. More therapy. Bah.

Maybe I'll post more tomorrow. Right now I'm tired and cranky...
