Harvested most of the lavender, a bit left for bumblebees to much on
In the past, I have complained a decent amount about the pain in my right hip and feeling very much like a hundred years old grandma. My condition didn’t seem to improve much recently even with taking it easy for a while. I finally saw a specialist and was diagnosed with hypermobility. What it basically means is that the aliens who created my sleeve thought it was a good idea to make me super flexible. So flexible all my joints can move past the range of what’s normal for all the regular humans. What else does it mean? I am screwed. Not really. I hope. I just have to take an extra good care of my joint health as I can easily injure myself. If only it was as easy as flossing, right?
Genetics suck sometimes. I have a few wonderful features of my grandmother such as her ears, ankles, snow white skin, intuition of a witch, and well, the hypermobile joints. I am sure she didn’t know about it either. That is the annoying part. People rarely know about their conditions, before there is a problem or signs of a problem. I spent about fifteen minutes at the doctor’s chair telling her my issues and five minutes in she already knew what was wrong with me just by looking at my silly joints. Wish someone would have told me of it before as I then would have possibly avoided more organic damage. Unfortunately, this is not how modern day medicine and diagnostics work mostly, not here anyway. Often times it is more about oh you got pain, here are the pills for the pain. No pain, no problem. Until one day.
What now? Now, as it turns out, I have to take a bunch of supplements such as glucosamine, vitamin D, and magnesium. This will hopefully help my bones and muscles to become stronger, and help with collagen production. I was banned from running! I am still not at peace with this one! At the same time just the other day after finishing my rebellious, against the doctor’s orders run and walking home I could feel my hip being on fire inflamed. Ok, ok! I will take it easy! Fuck! Physiotherapy here I come! Who wants to cycle instead? Cycling seems so boring and easy in comparison.
Anyways, this will not go away and I just have to accept it.
Wild flowers are still my favorite flowers. You know, the ones you can find at the meadows. Most of them are quite healthy herbs that can be used as a tea.
Here is my hypermobile thumbs up! Until next time!
