JwithJ - GL for Friday's appt, I hope they can shed some light.

fianas - oooh boy, you've had a right run of it. It's heartening to hear that you can learn to manage it but oooh what a massive impact on your life

AFM - went to a new physio today... basically thinks the same as my osteo (so that's kinda good) which is that my pelvic instability isn't THAT bad, but I've got a "gammy" hip plus the poor pelvic floor on that side... so it's a few things going on which all result in a hip that won't be walked upon, but not absolute classic SPD IYKWIM. She suggested I try get some crutches for night time... and i've already discovered friends & relies with both sorts of crutches (armpit - is that the description? vs elbow).... so which is better? I forgot to ask, so I'd love to hear any advice!

I've also been given a gazillion more exercises and stretches to do, told NOT to walk (as much as possible) and get to the pool if I can (GD test is next week.... I need to find SOME way to exercise!!). Having my mum here has made a huge difference, wondering if I can keep her for 3 months... hmm probably not given she lives interstate! I'm still petrified that once she goes I'm gonna be back at square one, but I'm trying to use the time she's here to really strengthen, learn how to manage it and make some household/lifestyle changes... i.e. just put DS into a big bed as I cannot manage a cot at all. So we're doing the best we can and I just appreciate every day I have mum. Thing is, my older sis is visiting the rest of the family tomorrow and she won't see mum cos she's over here helping me, so I feel bad that mum and my older sis aren't going to get to catch up

Didi - I happened to mention your situation to her... and she said "oh where does she live, I'll go help her!". My heart melted and I sooo wish I could just send her over!
