It is with much pleasure to report that this week I have felt the best since my
Jan 3 hip surgery. This
week has been pivotal in my therapy sessions, as my PT is seeing movement in
areas that were extremely resistant before. I am still receiving PT 3 times per week. I am able to walk for longer periods without
constant pain medication. The mobility
has really helped with my recovery. In
regard to the pain meds, if you have been reading my previous posts, you will
know that I was crying at the drop of a hat. LOL
I am happy to report, it’s got to be something really really bad now,
for me to cry. Oh how the little steps
in life can make one so happy. J But just know that if the dog runs away on a
TV show now, or someone looks at me in a bad way, I’m GOOD, NO MORE TEARS! This my
friends is a call for celebration. Go ahead, have a glass of wine on me. Heck, I think I will tonight.
So with hope, luck, and whatever else I can throw into the
equation, I will continue to improve each day, working towards getting back to
my old cranky self once again.
Thank you to all of my followers (followers---hmmm makes me feel like
some King or something) who have expressed genuine concern. I
truly appreciate your concern and attention.
My recovery would not have been possible withtout the tremendous love and support from all of my family and friends. I just can't seem to say that enough. THANK YOU!
P.S.---My definition of real progress will be when I can put on socks without an assistive device, and tie my own shoes. I still feel as if I'm in 1st grade, when asking Chuck, my PT, a stranger on the street, to tie my shoe for me. SAD isn't it? This too shall pass. Sometime....
I am thrilled to know that you are on your way to good health; inside and out. Cheers to a promising recovery!
