Yeah I had hip surgery in March and these restrictions sucked. They were important but soooo hard to comply with, especially with sleeping. But even harder was not being able to lean forward while sitting - I could have no less than 90° between my legs and my trunk.
I had to really watch these positional restrictions for the first four weeks. After that I could ease back into a more full range of motion, but only to my comfort level (in other words, I couldn’t push anything and had to take it slooooowly). No running or jumping for the first 12 weeks. But now I can pretty much do anything I want. I do still have pain sometimes if I sleep in a weird position or if I go too hard in the gym, but more or less I’m back to normal. Certainly I’m better than before surgery!
My problem was called a femoroacetabular impingement, which is a congenital overgrowth of bone at the neck of the femur. It limited my range of motion (e.g., squatting was difficult) and led to a torn labrum (hip cartilage). The surgery was to sew the labrum back together and pin it down, and shave down the bone overgrowth. They did it all arthroscopically. I’m really glad I had it done, even though recovery was frustrating!
I talked a little more about recovery here if you’re interested.
Best way, use a knife and slice it thiin.
Then just place it on the bread.
If the bread is the slightest bit warm (why would you eat cold bread !?), it melts right away.
But of course, for that to work, you need to be offered the larger face of the butter instead of the little side, that people tend to slice.
I tend to apply it on toast (i.e. toasted, sliced bread) in that way, which I toasted with a few drops of groundnut oil or Ghee, and it melts (enough to spread by just touching and dragging the spoon/knife) by the time I am ready to eat.
What kind of bread are you using? You’ll need real bread for this, not toast or wonder bread. There’s a world of difference between a real bread loaf and sugar in toast form.
As someone with sciatica and bursitis, I’m going to take this advice while standing. I’ve heard the opposite lying down, but my problem is neurological/ inflammation. My rest postition is crossing my calf over the adjacent shin and then pulling both upwards towards my head. Let’s test it out! I’m queer though, so I’ll miss making homophones scared.
