15 minutes of analyzing my walking-ness at PT. Other than needing to extend my right hip back a tad, I am walking darned near normal. AND THEN... 10 minutes of RUNNING with walk breaks. Again, need to work on my right hip extension. When I try to extend more I lose my pelvic stability, but the extension should come with time though and dedicated hip flexor stretching. At this point I think it is more important to keep my pelvis stable than to have full hip extension.
We then came up with a nice hip maintenance and core exercise plan and I said g'bye to my PT and all the clinic staff. I held back my tears until I get into my car and then bawled my eyes out. It has been one long haul you could say. I have been going to that clinic almost weekly for two and a half years prehabbing and rehabbing three hip surgeries and assorted resulting ailments and I am honest to gosh going to miss all those peeps :( I am so grateful for their support and awesomeness!
As of today (sitting, standing, AND running):
Zero pain in left hip.
Zero pain in right hip.
Nearly zero pain in low back/SI joint.
