The Wobble Strut

Yesterday I had to go to the grocery store for a few essentials.
Overall I was doing fairly well, and wanted to just get in and get out, so I went without my cane.

Well that was a mistake. :S
Whoops.

Pretty quickly, even leaning on a cart, my SI joints were complaining, loudly.

Every time I tried to walk normally - evenly and in a straight line - I would get a shooting pain in my back and hips and it would jolt me off balance.

Step, step, twitch, twinge, step, stumble, step, step.

I wound up looking like how a person walks in their first set of stilettos.
Except I was in flip flops.

I guess I should have worn heels... then at least people would simply think I'm clumsy, rather than looking like a girl trying to strut and failing miserably.

The Ankylosing Spondylitis strut.
