Born Dysplastic/To Be Wild

The trip we took in June had me really missing riding a bike. I got my motorcycle license in 2002 but was never 100% comfortable riding the sport bike that I had at the time. That bike has been sitting in the garage unused for the last two years. So, back from the west coast I started tire-kicking used cruisers and came across one that I just had to buy. For those who know/care it's a 2006 Honda Shadow VLX 600.

My left hip is hurting me more and more, but this I can do. I love it!

Two Hips, Two Pains

Last night I ran pretty hard at our masters' level agility class and this morning I was feeling it in both hips. My right hip was tight in that hard-workout kinda way, but most of it was walked off by the time I got to the office.

Not so for the left side - it hurts in that mortar and pestle, bone grinding on cartilage kinda way. There's no walking this pain off - it only got worse as walked my commute today. I will likely be reaching for my old friend, the IB's, before long.

It's days like these that make me so deeply grateful for having had my surgery.

And ready for the next one.
