      Being exhausted at your stage is normal.  Now is the time for you to enjoy being lazy, your body is using a lot of energy to heal.  Find a good series on netflix and just sit back and enjoy.

    Yes it has been a lot for one day, but I'm feeling better everyday and I try to do a little more each day.

      I work for a company that manufacture springs for the aerospace industry.  I pretty much look over production and outside processes to make sure orders are ontime.

      I am very determined to get back to life without pain!!  This hip has been a pain for the last 5 years.  I make sure I strech everyday and do my PT, using ice is also a hug factor.

    Can you come around to my place? The garage could do with decluttering!

      Thanks Amanda, and yes I know it was major and I really am being careful. I listen to my body when I'm tired I rest, when I'm feeling good I push just a little harder to get better. The thing is I've always pushed myself to work hard, but this is why my hip wore out at such a young age.
