Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes.
My Physical Therapy went well. I learned that the stretches and exercises I have been doing for decades are great for my back, but my issue is in my hips. I was born with pigeon toe (feet turned in) and so my legs are a bit bowed from the knee down (I forgot the medical term). It is not the same as bow legs where the entire leg from hip to ankle is bowed. In my case, the bow is from knee to ankle. The therapist thinks my left knee is more bowed than the right, which would explain the torn meniscus in that knee.
The pain in my right hip is a sign that my body is trying to compensate for the left knee issue and that it throwing things out of whack. So he showed me six new exercises to work on strengthening the core, hip, and glute muscles. With just him showing me how to do them and watching to make sure I did them correctly, I walked out of there without limping. I will be looking forward to doing these so that I can get back out to the creek and dig some gold!
After my appointment, my best friend, her sister, and her son took me to Ruby Tuesday for a birthday dinner. We had a great time.
My Bestie's card is awesome. It reads:
Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins,
Sparkle on, Birthday Girl!
(She knew me pre-transition and has been a wonderful ally.)
I don't drink and drive, so I waited until I got home to start my date with Jose Cuervo. He was a perfect gentleman and no matter how hard I tried I could not get him to play with my boobs.
If you want the job done right, you just gotta do it yourself.
Thanks again, I had a great day.
