I'm sure that what I'm feeling (rather, not feeling) is leftover from the numbing. Until the shot I would plan out every movement to decide how best to do it with the least amount of pain. I've been doing that for a while now. I've been planning trips in the car to minimize the number of times I need to get in and out. The pain measurement pegged the 10 scale whenever I lifted my leg to get into or out of my car. This is, btw, the primary way to tell if you've got a hip problem. Having gone through the exact same thing five years ago on the other side it still took me two months to figure it out. The pain radiates up and down usually ending in my knee, exactly as it did last time. Were I a centipede I'd be ready for the other 98 hips.
Now I've only got the phantom pain, the one that I expect to be there. But it isn't. I walked 11K+ steps yesterday before my cortisone and feel fine today. As my step son would say "'s a mircle" . I've got physical therapy today and we'll mostly be evaluating. She is really careful and cognizant of my. Doesn't push. Not very PT like at all. It is really nice.
Other than that I'm doing a little Zoe walking and that's about it.
We're signed up for the opening of Dune, Part II, tomorrow so we'll watch the first half again today. Sand. Worms.
We watched the first two episodes of Shogun. The spent the money. It is the first time I've ever seen something on TV that I really thought should have been in the theater. It is 10 hours long so there's really not a way to do it but it would be beautiful on a huge screen. I'm so glad they have done it justice. The story deserves it. The original series on TV was wonderful, a bit more true to the book, and Richard Chamberlain will always, in my mind be the Anjin. But this one has 40+ years of technology to use and it really uses it well. Now I just need to forget about it for two months so I can watch it all at once. I'm not doing week by week.
I'm halfway through the book Shogun, reading it in Google Play and it is as good as it was the first time I read it long ago.
I'm listening to 1984 Julia, the flip side of 1984 told from the viewpoint of the female protagonist in the original book. Fortunately it is also really well done and well read. It has more twists and turns than the original but ends, I suspect, at the same place. It does remind me a bit of Tom Stoddard's "Rosencranz and Guildenstern are dead" where the protagonists intersect several times with the Hamlet and group. Julia intersects with Winston and the others in the original novel but her take on what is happening is very different. Brilliantly written.
