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
