Happy Birthday Roxy!

I had my part 2 doctor appointment this evening but before I get into that whole saga I'll quickly explain my day:

4:30 a.m. - Kitty is licking my face and purring like a motor boat.
5 a.m. - Daughter is in bathroom with potty issues.
5:15 a.m. - Being called my daughter to help in the potty.
5:30 a.m. - At YMCA plugging in a quick workout before work.  I like the early a.m. workouts.  This way I'm not stressed out trying to leave work at lunch time.

WOD - 75 pull ups for time (medium resistance band) = 9:30 and 800 yard swim for time = 15:35.  It was very nice working out the upper body instead of the lower half.  My legs need a rest.

6:30 a.m. - Back home
7:00 a.m. - Feeding kids breakfast
7:10 a.m. - Roxy opens birthday presents
7:40 a.m. - Roxy and Lincoln head off to school/daycare
8:15 a.m. - Trinity and I head to bus stop
8:30 a.m. - I'm at work PHEW!

Okay, so back to my appointment.  Let me sum it up for you.........I'm literally a mess!  The minute he turned the light on my x-rays I noticed my hips were completely out of alignment.  My left hip is higher by 15mm then my right hip.  My spine down between my hips is horizontal instead of vertical.  I'm a bizarre case because I have no problems with my back and hips and the doctor is stunned by that.  Plus he said that these shifts in my body have been there for years.  He asked me several times if I ever really injured myself to cause all this.  I can't think of a damn thing.  I joked that my kids placed my hips and spine like that.  He isn't sure if it is from carrying kids or not but he doesn't think so.

Now this is the fun part.  The stuff I just mentioned has nothing to do with my butt issue.  I have paramisus syndrome (don't know if I'm spelling it right) which means that a nerve that runs under my paramisus muscle is actually running through it and the muscle is strengthing around it causing the pain.  And today it was really bad.  It's getting worse and worse each day and I really did notice it because I would limp whenever I would get up from my desk.  Yup, I'm an old lady now!

Back in on Monday for some interesting tweeking and it looks like I'll be living there for a few weeks until I'm on my own to do some exercises.  I would like this all gone tomorrow but I know it will take time and time is something I do not have unless I have to disrupt our normal family style for a bit.  I don't want to do that but I have no choice.

6:15 p.m. - arrive home
6:30 p.m. - eating super (chicken cutlet and veggies)
7 p.m. - Singing happy birthday to Roxy with some cupcakes and ice cream (yes I had some)
7:30 p.m. - Playing a game with the kids
8 p.m. - Kids in bed

And here I am.  So, very interesting don't you think.  My life is going to get very interesting in the next few weeks especially with this butt thing getting worse.  It was comical now it's really down right annoying.
