stretching and hooray Richie!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the advice about stretching and the info on the Stretching

Scientifically book to all you who responded. I think I'll have to order

the book, as stretching is my main concern now, and since I'm finishing up

my physical therapy I'll be on my own and won't have anyone to run to for

advice. I've been trying to do the flexion stretch every hour or two ten

times as recommended by the PT, but it sure keeps the hip in a constant

state of soreness. I just feel stuck but maybe (probably) I'm being

impatient as usual. I really want to be able to tie my shoe! Also, there

seems to be concern by the PT that if you slack off on your stretching the

hip heals up in a shortened state and then is practically impossible to get

loosened up again. I guess like when someone breaks their leg and doesn't

stretch after recovery and winds up with a permanent limp.

Richie--SOOOO HAPPY for you!!! I've been hoping and praying for a

positive outcome, and was delighted to hear you are now a genuine surface

hippy. Can't wait to hear the story in your own words, as I'm sure you'll

have us all in stitches - pardon the pun, or as you would say, hehehehe lol!

All the Best,

Heidi
