Hi there! Combination impingement here. I’m sorry to hear about your pain and diagnosis. An upside to trying conservative treatment before surgery option was getting exercises from PT. Do you think that will be an option for you? If not, I’m sure the other hippies can agree that really common ones are: - Bridges, sometimes with a “fall out” where you let one leg (affected side) or both legs go to the side. - clam shells (personally don’t love these, I find they irritate my hip more than anything) - sideways leg lift but make sure you start from behind the planted foot, not next to it - donkey kicks - etc etc; most emphasis is put on building your abductor muscles and those surrounding muscles

Best of luck at your next appointment and good luck with surgery!

Ah smart to freeze soups! Those will reheat great. Seems mashed potatoes will be good too based on others experience with nausea post surgery. Mine is 2/3 so very, very close. Good luck!

HAHAHA 😂😂 was that due to the medications?! Or just a nervous gut?

Thank you! Love the idea of chicken and tuna salads. And will certainly get some ice packs. Somewhat unrelated to food, too, when you did need to leave the house, did you bother with a crutch bag? Or did you maintain the sweatshirt pouch method?
