Back With a Capital Vengence!

Back to work today for a whole 4 hours. Hip is more crampy than I would like :( I think it is telling the world it is going to snow a lot in the next few days.

AM: Hip flexor stretch (just trying to lay flat), heel slides, leg lift with band, hip circles.

PM: Heel slides, leg lifts, hip circles.

I love the snow even though it is a giant pain in the bum on crutchies. We need a gigantic base so I can ski in May :) Bring it on!

AM: Heel slides, circles, leg raises

AM2: 10 minutes on the recombent bike!!!

PM: Worked a whole 6 hours and no achys today. Felt good. Then another 10 minutes on the bike at level negative zero (meaning I can't pedal hard enough to turn the darned thing on) at what I am guessing to be 35 rpms.

PM2: Heel slides, circles, leg raises

AM: Heel slides, hip circles, leg lifts. Cannot wait to add more to this routine.

AM2:10 minutes bike.

PM: 10 minutes upright bike plus loads of manual therapy, ouch, at PT. Added glute sets and 3-way hip to the routine. I forgot how hard this is going to be, booooooo!

AM: Morning PT.

PM: 10 minutes bike. Evening PT.

Here's the truth about surgery #3, I am so depressed I am finding it difficult to function. I think 2 was my limit, this is not easy, it sucks, and I am pretty sure all this ice is trying to kill me. Pathetic plea for support, I know.

AM: Said goodbye to me beloved ice machine and then morning PT.

PM: 10 minutes bike at PT and PT stuff. Still limited to heel slides, leg raises with band, 3-way hip, and glute squeezes. Groin feels pincy awful.

I guess all I have to do is whine on my blog about how sad I am and then a happiness package of beer and chocolate shows up at my door. I wonder who that is from :) Best part was the drawing that I taped to my mirror so I will always be smiling!

First attemt at selfie with new fancy phone. Disregard messy room, I am on crutches damnit!

I have felt super lethargic and just wiped these past few days which I attributed to being pathetically depressed and well after spending last night battling a 103+ degree fever, I think I am sick. So weak and sick that I can barely crutch to the kitchen. I ate a GU for lunch because I know I need the calories, but I don't have the energy to cook up anything else. I can't help but laugh at this new realm of patheticness! Seriously?!? I have barely left my house for 3 weeks, how can I get this sick?!?

AM: Still managed to do my morning PT except for glute squeezes.

PM: Evening PT minus hip circles. Too weak to fetch spider band...

The other big race this weekend!
