hello, summer. hello, bone doctor.
hello, summer
we meet again, my sweat inducing, fiery foe.
the only thing you are good for is allowing me to swim
and making shady agreements with our AC to break down
only in the dead-middle of june.
what you have promised him, i do not know.

a picture from long ago
when with my first
stumbling breath
i was dreaming
only dreaming
where she stole
winter coats
and i told you how
much i wanted you
you are a picture
from long long ago

i am going to see an orthpedi .. cian ( i call him/her "the bone doctor" ) sometime this week ( hopefully, though i am in doubt ). first, i have to find one nearby. then, i have to make an appointment. why? i'm certain i have something called "snapping hip". the symptoms are as follows:
"Snapping hip syndrome (coxa saltans, iliopsoas tendinitis or dancer's hip) is a condition characterized by a snapping sensation when the hip is flexed and extended."
ergo, not something you'd need doogie howser to diagnose.
the only term there that leaves me with even a remote sense of bizarre pride is "dancer's hip".
now, from what i have read, there are two basic types of snapping hip: the kind that doesn't cause pain, and the kind that does. i can tell you now, for obvious reasons, that i have the sort that causes pain. i read very little about the kind that doesn't cause pain. as for the sort that is accompanied with pain ... the outlook is grim. maybe i didn't read enough ( though i spent 2+ hours researching it ), but i saw that this: http://www.prolotherapy.com/prolodefine.htm was a popular treatment.
my immediate response was a healthy: "HELL NO." as injections do not tickle my fancy. in fact, i am almost deathly afraid of them.
i am partially scared to death of going and finding that this is the only option. however, i also want to go in hopes that there is something else i can do to help that way i can continue doing to dances i want to do ( tahitian, ballroom and tap ).
