My brother had a soccer scrimmage this morning! Normally I would go but today my hips hurt so badly that I didn't. I go to ALL of my brothers games! It's a bummer that simple activities are hard for me!
Last night we went to dinner for my grandpa's birthday. I had to leave early because I couldn't sit in the chair. I couldn't even enjoy my meal because I was focusing on trying to find a position that didn't cause so much pain!
