With each week that passes I am seeing a lot of progress with the exception of my left IT band and knee area.. I try to focus on the good and will deal with the bad when I have mri in a few weeks. A month ago it was toddler steps tightness on both sides groin area that held me back in trying to achieve longer strides I also began medical Excercise and massage twice a week
I have lost 6 lbs tightness is gone- longer strides- I have to use cane when my left side cannot bear weight and knee buckles, I have to admit when my massage therapist started being more agressive this week it has helped my muscles.
I go to the same place for both and both of my therapists have worked together and focused on my areas that need attention.
I wasn’t eating enough to give me energy as my appetite has changed since surgeries I have no desire for any fast food I eat the same things fruit veg and a few meats for protein
I enjoy my pecan pie and treat myself once a week..I started eating more I do have more energy and now losing weight
I stopped using my Fitbit a few weeks back I found myself thinking ok 4500 steps a day is my limit it’s time to rest and do nothing else rest of day.. for me it became a ‘ this is all I can do’ so to challenge myself , I will start wearing it again, it will be interesting to see how many steps have increased
I can now lay in bed and cross both legs at ankles no discomfort or pain
I can sleep on either side longer periods of time up until 6 weeks ago I could not sleep in bed.. 11 weeks in my recliner I thought I would never be able to get in my bed
Bending forward to pick something up or get into cabinet is still uncomfortable I do not have to use an aid to get socks on but still painful as well as getting in and out of car and sitting too long.. but I can tell this has also gotten much better
I am so excited to start seeing benefits it is truly amazing
Weeks ago I began to put my house back in order dishes pots and pans back in cabinets towels and personal items back ..my stations
I had set up for waist level - I used TV trays in each room
The lifter on toilet is my last and today I am packing it away ! it is time.
