Having osteoarthritis in your hip is like being stuck in a hollow tree log and everytime you try to move your leg you can't because the wood is in the way. No matter how hard you try you just cannot move.
I just had an incident on the couch. It's past midnight and I fell asleep on the couch in a weird position. I woke up, turned the TV off and tried to get up. I used the coffee table as leverage. WTF? I couldn't move my left leg. I pushed my hands against the table harder, scooted My leg. OMG! searing hot pain. No range of motion. There's that wood in my way again. I finally edged my way to outside the couch. One step closer to bed. What now? I have the whole hallway now. Worst pain ever. Every step is coming like glass on my hip.i can't do it. Hold on to the banister. Ok I can hold on. I started to scream for my husband. Where is he? Michael? Michael? Fuck he can't hear me. I'm past the banister now. Ok here is the hallway. Nothing to hold onto. OMG pain. Wood again. I cannot move. Michael finally heard me. He's in the bath. Shit! He shoots up. I had no idea where he was. I'm half awake. In tears now. He runs out, wet. Are you okay, he asks? No!! I can't walk to bed. Help! I grab ahold of him. He grabs my waist, and walks with me. Omg I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to get you up like this. I can't walk! Finally I make it to the bed. phew! I manage to put aspercream mixed with Ben gay and cbd cream all over my upper leg. Got in my bed, put my huge pillow under my foot. Aahh worst is over.
