@fiesty76 @becsbuddy. I'm on the "injured list" too. I'm unable to walk my usually distance of 3 miles due to hip bursitis and SI joint disfunction. Had a cortisone shot four weeks ago, at my follow up appointment, my ortho doctor prescribed PT but the one he sent me to who takes my insurance are all booked up until mid November. Had to dig into my pocket to go back to my own PT. They squeezed me in two time slots this week. They don't take my insurance but will give me a cash discount.
The weather is cooler after a week of 90s. It's such a shame that I can't enjoy the fall weather with long walks. Hope the PT helps and I have some good news to report to my ortho doctor at next appointment.
Take care everyone, speedy recovery! Go Dodgers! We're going to the World Series!!!

Hope you are feeling better mayofeb, please remember to WALK to your tv at 5 p.m. today. It’s DODGER BLUE GAME NUMBER 1
Saw vin scully and sandy kofax on tv a few days ago. Hard to believe sandy kofax is in his mid 80s.
Take care of yourself.

Awe, heck! @mayofeb2020, So sorry to include you in our current "injured list" but sincerely hope that the cortisone shot and PT will speed up your healing and relief. Both have helped me in the past but now with CKD, I am much more reluctant to go for the cortisone because I've had so much of it over the years. I am doing prescribed "at home" stretches provided me earlier and though I am not a great fan of exercising on my own, I am doing these and think they may be helping speed the healing.
If nothing else, these "temporary" set backs always make me grateful that with time, I can heal unlike those thousands who suffer daily with severe chronic pain.
Totally unpatriotic by not being a baseball fan; surprised I wasn't banned from the U.S. decades ago. Was hit by a baseball at age 8 in the head and while it is an excuse used for years for my lack of interest and quirky nature, I am a big soccer, basketball, hockey, tennis and football fan so maybe that is what saved me? vbg Have to brag that grandson caught his first touchdown pass this week and the Dolphins won the game! Hoo! Hoo! Everyone stay interested in something outside oneself and work to stay safe and well.
