Happy Tuesday Everyone!
It is rainy, cloudy, humid and dreary in North Jersey today and I am completely unmotivated to be doing anything! However, it has been 4 weeks (wow, I can't believe 4 weeks has passed) since my hip surgery, so I wanted to provide some updates on my recovery!
1) I have been on the elliptical a few more times and I no longer get super sore!
2) I went for my first "leisure" walk with my Golden Doodle Bentley Boyd and walked almost 4 miles! I was surprisingly not sore at all, but I definitely do not have my speed or full stride back yet.
3) I had a deep tissue massage this past weekend and BOY WAS I TIGHT! All of my glute, thigh, low back and hip muscles have never felt that tight before! The massage really helped and I decided to schedule one more on 10/1. Hopefully that keeps things moving.
4) I went back to my Pilates class last night!!!! I was nervous of how I would feel this morning, but I have awesome news: I AM NOT SORE AT ALL! However, during the class, my right hip joint kept popping and making clicking noises. I thought that this surgery was supposed to fix that? I developed some anxiety and began thinking that something may have went wrong in there... I have decided to try one more class on Wednesday. If it's not better, I'll email Dr. Coleman and Kira!
5) I am still progressing wonderfully in physical therapy and I will be starting some new strengthening exercises tonight (i.e. small lunges).
Until next time,
The Girl in Need of Starbucks!
