After being quite careful over the weekend, my left hip was feeling a lot better this morning. "Careful" in this case includes not walking or standing very much; using a (chemical) heating pad; and taking NSAIDs, Tylenol, and a low dose of a muscle relaxant (all carefully tracked so as to stay within safe dosages).
DFavis Square a little before noon today, with the heating pad on my hip, to run some errands and get lunch. The bus trip down, stop and the drug store, and lunch were all fine. After lunch, Cattitude went to his bank (in Porter Square) and I decided to get ice cream before buying fruit and coming home. I ate most of my cone and then hurried across Davis Square with the last of it—no particular reason, just a combination of city person habits and being glad I (thought I) could do this rather than crossing slowly and with the light. My hip started to hurt a little soon after I got to the sidewalk; not great, but the cell phone app said this was after about 1500 steps, which it thought was 0.6 miles. (The count will be lower than the actual step total since I got up, since I didn't have the thing in my pocket until right before we left, and the estimated distance is almost certainly higher than actual.)
I got fruit and bread, took the bus home, put things away, and had a cup of tea and another Tylenol. My only definite plan for tomorrow is to vote, and our voting place is in the firehouse right across the street from my building. The forecast is for significant wind and rain, so I'm not likely to be tempted by random wandering.
