Is the symphony a job that pays her?
She needs to keep her work relationships professional. She can find someone else to talk to. She probably needs the job.

yes she is a paid member of the symphony and her friend is a colleague and friend whom was helping her/being a supportive person. She doesn't have many friends.
WE had dinner over there tonight and had salmon. delicious!
I listened and offered support. helped her make some decisions.
came home and did some paperwork.
Susan is the first person that I have ever had to help support.
I have never had a friend in such need.
It feels good to help her.
She is a hang nail biter too.
I told her she needed to put a bandaide on her thumb, bleeding and then to sit on her hands. And she did.
I told her that she needed to do cardio at the gym. That it was really important for her mental health.
I think she will go tomorrow.

The gym is a good idea. If she will start this then she has another
outlet for her issues. To get rid of stress and things.

Bizi, how's that hip of yours feeling?

[bizi]

I am going to the gym tonight and walk on the tred mill will test jogging a bit to test the waters.
thanks for asking

I guess that means it is feeling better! Good luck, tonight. I hope it passes the treadmill test!

[bizi]

I walked on the tred mill 65 minutes and it did not feel any worse.
so maybe it just needs some time.
my heart rate only got up to 114 bpm.....Did not sweat a drop
next time I go I will use the arc trainer to do a cardio work out and spare my hips the jarring from jogging.
Saw an old friend, nice to speak with her a bit.

Need to look on you tube to see if I can find examples of different stretches: psoas, piriformus pigeon stretch.

That's a good start, Bizi. Be patient though, and give it the time it needs.

114 bpm is still well above resting pulse... contributes to maintenance of stamina.

Good idea to do cardio some other way like the arc trainer.

looked at the pigeon stretch and I tried to do it. It is a yoga pose.
First of all I was afraid that I would not be able to get off the floor. so I gently tried to get into the position and could not.
oh well
I am out of shape....I knew this.
these don't even look like the right kind of stretches, it is a hip flexor one.
hubby is calling me to watch the x-files.
so off I go.
with time I am noticing my hip more.

Here is a yoga version of Pigeon. It might be helpful whether or not it is exactly specific to what is going on with your hip.

I hope your hip gets better.
Have you tried icing it. ?
