So who is absolutely LOVING this crisp, sunny, cool Fall weather?! I hope everyone in my NJ area is, because it is GORGEOUS! I am so thankful to live in a place that gets to experience all 4 seasons and Fall is my FAVORITE.
In other news, I can not believe that 5 weeks have passed since my hip arthroscopic surgery! I am still on the road to recovery and it has definitely been a journey. I am still going to physical therapy with Dr. Jim O'Rourke at Focus Physical Therapy in Montclair, NJ.
Some updates:
1) This is my last week of tons of PT, starting next week I will be dropping down to 2x per week!
2) I tried a different elliptical machine (with arms and a wider stride), that simulates the motion of running way more than the one I've been using. I did it for 30 minutes this past Saturday and I was SUPER SORE Sunday and Monday. I'm still feeling the effects today. I think I need to apply my "less is more" mantra the next time I attempt this machine.
3) My incisions are all pink and healing. I hope in the next few weeks I can start using scar cream to reduce them.
4) Due to the antibiotic I was on for my infected incision, I developed TWO "lady" infections, which I have been on medicine for. Luckily, today is the last day for those, and boy am I thankful. I have been dealing with such bad side effects from all the medication and I can't wait to get my body back on track.
Until next time,
