Back in bTown
My mum and I migrated back from Vail yesterday. Not being able to drive gave me the green light for some much needed sleep. And that is what I did. Bittersweet leaving that town. I truly loved my stay. Not only because my hip is on the road to recovery, but also because I was leaving those new friends I mentioned in the previous post.
Here I am in my bed. I’ve already spent several hours here, and I’ll probably continue my average of 19 hours a day for another week. But the good news is in, my back no longer hurts while laying here. In fact it feels good. A whole new series of obstacles and goofiness surrounds me now. Stairs, roommates, work and such. I still look forward to the challenge of every day, and believe me - every day is a challenge.
My mum is my weekend physical therapist, Reed is going to chime in too. There is a bit of tension between me and the homemade physical therapist, because well, I feel like my athletic future is in their hands at every moment. One small movement can make my hip ache for minutes or give me a stunningly sharp pain. They have performed marvelously thus far, I cannot deny them that. My brain is a protective beast and I couldn’t deny that even if I wanted to. It flexes my muscles without a thought, it guards and it guards - maybe it will settle down tomorrow.
