PM: Bike at PT and then a pretty intense manual therapy session focusing on my right SI joint. Now that the left hip is doing well we're shifting the focus to overall hip stability and the right SI.

PM2: First ever acupuncture appointment. Needles in my right shoulder and palm to fix my left hip and needles in the back of my left hand for the right SI. I hated it at for the first few minutes and then I think I finally relaxed and then my hips felt all warm and pulse-y weird so I do think it was doing something. I also got some acupuncture-to-go in the form of ear studs that are supposed to keep me from being an anxious freak. We'll see how well that works!

Gave the bike a whirl up City Creek since I have officially been cleared to tackle some hills. I thought all the flat biking and Spin class would have prepared me, but the ride was super hard! Then some yoga and the hip drill.

Today was one of the first days I have actually felt that running again might be a real possibility. My hip flexor has really loosened up in the last week and I keep getting compliments that I look like I am walking like a normal person. Yay!

Parked at the gym and then went into Pibs to try on some clothes, then walked around the park for a half hour, and then finally, after much resistance, went into the gym and did 25 minutes on the elliptical. 

Considered hopping on the treadmill for 5 seconds of running just to see how it felt... My hips are feeling great so it is getting harder to resist the urge. The past few days I've felt very little pain and quite a bit more balanced in the hips, but unfortunately I have felt headachy, nauseous, and slightly more anxious than normal. My acupuncturist says it is because we have disrupted my energy patterns and it takes awhile to rearrange the Chi. I guess I have been harboring a lot in my hips. I would really like to scoff this all off as quackery, but this is the best my hips have felt in like 2 years!

AM: Bike and SI beating at PT.

PM: Hour of biking on the Legacy.

So just yesterday I was complaining to a certain broken friend how annoyed I am that all my friends are broken and can't do anything fun now that I am finally getting better! AND THEN, I get to PT this morning to find out that my PT tore his ACL and meniscus and had surgery yesterday. I am so sad - way sad for him not to mention selfishly sad for myself. My PT has been my absolute ROCK through two surgeries and has been above and beyond supportive and encouraging. Imagining him drugged up in his CPM right now breaks my heart :(

AM: Hour of walking around the Aves.

PM: Rode from my house, up Memory Grove, through the U, and to the top of Little Mountain and back. Way hard, but I did it! 29 miles and 2200+ feet of climbing. I looked back and I wasn't biking up Emigration until I was about 5 months out of surgery last time. Since I am at the 3.5 month mark I am going to consider myself ahead of schedule!

First week I have had more outside biking miles than stationary miles - yay!
