I love skiing/snowboarding but, for obvious reasons, haven’t done it for a couple of years. This time last year I thought I’d never be able to do it again… Well, I’m booked up for my first ski trip post-op and in 7 weeks I’ll be putting my hip to the test in a full-on way.
I’m hugely excited about hitting the snow again and spending New Year abroad, but I’m filled with trepidation about how my hip will feel and whether I’ll hurt it. My muscles still feel very weak so I’m working to increase strength and stamina, but I really can’t predict how it’ll hold up after long days on the mountain. Eeek!
What’s more, that horrid pain the butt I mentioned a year ago has returned. Totally unrelated to my hips it seems, but possibly due to being sat down for too long and maybe directly attributable to a month of long hours and full weekends sat at my desk. I really don’t know how to get rid of it either, so I’m stretching this and exercising that in the hope it’ll disappear again. Humph.
