Today it rained. I love the rain and all I want to do when it rains is stay inside and cuddle up watching a movie or something like that. However I promised one of my uni friends yesterday that we would go shopping because she wants to buy a onsie and I need so clothes for pre, during and post physio workouts. It's getting very cold now in the morning and in the evenings and I can no longer exercise without feeling like I'm dying of frost bite. I have my eye on some skinny flashdance pants from Lorna Jane. I really love these and they seem so practical for cycling, pilates, post swimming, just everything. The only problem? Lorna Jane is seriously expensive. Not Lululemon expensive, but more money then I can afford. So now my problem is, do I buy them and use them all the time, i.e. wear them to physio, cycling etc. or do I try and find some other pants that I can do all these things in? Yes I could just wear my leggings, but I always feel so uncomfortable just walking around in leggings. Problems, problems, problems. I would rather be thinking about these petty dilemmas than everything else that I usually think about. What should I do?
I always feel so awkward going to physio because I never know what to wear. One week she'll ask me to take my pants off, the next she won't. It's awkward because I am quite possibly the youngest person that goes to my physio, as it is a specialist hip physio. Everyone else is seriously old and wears old people clothes. Whereas, I should probably really be wearing leggings or shorts, clothes that I can move in. I just feel really weird walking around in leggings and workout clothes when no-one else is. So I thought that these pants are quite casual and they aren't obviously workout clothes so it makes me feel a lot better about going to the physio in them. That's why i was thinking I should buy them... Complicated I know!
UPDATE!!! I bought the pants. $80. I know they were so expensive, but I'm pretty sure that rehab is going to be long and painful so why the hell not? I thought I'd treat myself as most of my exams are over. I just have to use them. I have to exercise and do my physio exercises now. I'll have to use them often now as I spent so much money on them. I guess I could always take them back, but I think I'll keep them. I can't believe I bought them!!
Day 9: Have you ever tried any alternative therapies? If so, what? Did they work?
Not really... I went to the chiropractor for about 5 months when I first started getting migraines. This guy said he could cure them, however it cost so much and it wasn't really doing anything so I decided to stop and try medication and other therapies to see if that would help. With my hip, I wouldn't dare go anywhere else other than to my physio and doctor, just because my hip is so fragile. My connective tissue is already not doing it's job, I wouldn't want to slam my joints back into place at the chiro, when it wouldn't even stay in. I know that a lot of chronic pain patients, even EDS patients go to the physio, however I really don't think it's for me.
