Relaxin

No, I'm not talking about taking it easy, although I wish.  I'm referring to the so called helpful hormone Relaxin that relaxes the body's muscles, joints, and ligaments during pregnancy.  Its effect centers on the joints of the pelvis, allowing them to stretch during delivery.  Well, I suspect it's also the cause of the recent dislocation feeling I've been experiencing in my operated hip.  Maybe dislocation isn't the right word, but wow it sure does stop me in my tracks and it is not a comfortable feeling.  It's down right scary!

5 Years!

I knew July marked 5 years post-PAO, but I had forgotten the actual date until I just revisited my previous posts.  Good thing for blogging.  The hips are doing well.  Occasional chiro adjustments are keeping me in line and feeling good.  An unexpected surprise will really test these hips over the next few months.  Our second child is due around Christmas--first one post-PAO.  So far so good over the first 5-months, let's hope it stays that ways!
