On Friday I managed to put my bad hip out pretty thoroughly. I could feel the lump of soreness in my butt where it was in the wrong place. I did some yoga and my PT exercises, which at least kept it from getting worse.
Saturday, other than the time I spent a Farmers' Market, I spent a lot of time asleep. I took a nap in the afternoon and went to bed early.
I took some ibuprofin before the second time I went to bed, to knock down the swelling that might be holding the hip out of position, and it worked.
I woke up in the middle of the night and stretched my leg through the heel, and I could feel the joint move back into position and pop back into its socket.
That is the weirdest sensation.
In the morning I did more PT exercises and yoga to help seat it firmly.
I need to do more yoga and start free weights again to try to stabilize it. (I've been takig it easy because exercise give me coughing fits.)
