FIRST PLACE
I almost canceled my plans to play duplicate bridge this
morning, but I'm sure glad I didn't. On Thursday when the right
side of my hip / buttock started hurting, I took a muscle relaxant when I went
to bed to make the pain go away.
Although I did feel some what better in the morning I took some ibuprofen anyway and did some
stretching exercises in hopes of preventing it from getting worse. Unfortunately, after meeting friends for
lunch and then watching a movie at the senior center in the afternoon, the pain
returned in full force. I had been
sitting on a hard chair for two hours and no doubt that caused my sciatic to
return.
As soon as I arrived home, I took more ibuprofen, iced my
hip, and then did more stretching, determined to heal myself. However when I woke,
the pain had barely receded.
Nevertheless, as I did not want to disappoint my partner, I dressed and
drove off to the bridge class. I was
very uncomfortable all morning, but we won first place, and it was worth it!!!
