day by day

I'm beginning to figure out the happy medium between using the wheelchair and walking, just enough so my hip doesn't hurt to terribly bad.  But it's still unpredictable.  There are times, that I hurt more in one instance and I'm fine the next.  It's still difficult to gage how much I can do because of my pain tolerance barrier I had put up several years ago.  By the time I realize I'm hurting, I'm in a lot of pain and don't want to do anything but lay down and either ice or heat my hip.

We're just taking everyday as it comes, my parents and I.  We're adjusting as best we can.  It's a pain to have mom and dad drive me every where again and pull the wheelchair out of the back of the car, but it's just one of those things we have to do.  And I'm very thankful that I have a set of parents who are willing to help me as much I need it.  I don't know what I'd do without them when times like these arise.
