Happy Sunday Everyone!
I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed my Thanksgiving weekend with amazing family and friends. I hope you all did as well.
I have some bad news; a "bump" in the road to recovery if you will.
I received the green light from my surgeon's physicians assistant to try a hot yoga class again. I went last Sunday (11/17) and felt great! When I saw my physical therapist two days later, he even commended me for being the most open and flexible in my hips since surgery!
Since I was feeling so open and great, I decided to try another hot yoga class on Thanksgiving morning (11/22). During and after the class, I continued to feel great!
**PLEASE NOTE**
During BOTH of these hot yoga practices, I was extremely careful by taking many breaks, sitting out on many poses and not going as deep into poses as normal.
Ever since Friday morning, I have been dealing with AWFUL pain in my lower right back, right groin and the pain is shooting down my right leg. I have not felt these sensations since BEFORE my surgery.
I am very worried that I damaged or re-injured something... :/
I emailed my surgeon's physicians assistant, Kira, letting her know what happened. I also have an appointment already scheduled with Dr. Coleman this coming Wednesday....
I reallllyyyyyy hope everything turns out alright...
XOXO,

12.5 Weeks Since Surgery!
Hi Everyone!
Wow, I can't believe it's almost 2 months since I last updated everyone on my recovery. Time really has flown by!
UPDATES:
Physical Therapy: This week started 1xWeek of PT and acupuncture! I can not believe I am almost done with my entire PT protocol. Crazy. However, Dr. Jim O'Rourke says that I almost have COMPLETE range of motion back, but that it takes up to a full year for a body to recover from a major surgery.
Elliptical: Back to normal.
Pilates: Back to normal with slightly less range of motion. However, with my awesome Pilates instructor and friend, Elly Mandarakas, I know that will all come back with time!
Hot Yoga: I was just cleared to SLOWLY and CAREFULLY try my first practice in 13 weeks! I signed up for a class at Garden State Yoga in Bloomfield, NJ. I can't wait to start practicing again, although I'm pretty nervous...
Running: Not happening yet.
I see Dr. Coleman, my surgeon, for my second follow-up on Wednesday 11/28. I'll let everyone know how that goes!
Overall, I am 200% happy that I repaired my labral tears in my hips and I am so thankful that my recovery has been going so smoothly.
Best,
A
