Aww, thank you
@Layla, that's so characteristically thoughtful of you, as you always are! I didn't even know it was my one month hipversary! (...It took righty a full month to calm herself down)
Not to worry, doing very well, but just landed in a tsunami of work activity that I knew was in the wings and had been secretly nervous I might not be up to doing so soon. Been going full speed for several days - day and night- and aside from some tenderness and AM stiffness, surprised at how relatively uneventful it has been, hip-wise, even after working all day with no cane. Lots of bedtime icing, but solid leaps of progress since even last week. I'd been concerned about having enough stamina reserves and how I'd hold up... and I'm so relieved to find those fears were mostly unwarranted. it's going very well! I think, in all my zeal for caution, I'd somewhat
underestimated just how much healing had actually taken place. Body can surprise us sometimes when it's time to meet a head on challenge. I can't say I visited the ODIC lobby either, because, so far ...no war wounds to report! It is so freeing to rediscover the first signs of mobility again after being out of commission for so long.... like your grocery store moment,
@Layla! It's an "Ahhh!!" thing.
Otherwise, I think
@Bone-obo said it once, when he'd stopped posting for awhile, that he felt posting his day to day reports at that stage might just make for some pretty dull reading! Think I'm kind of there now as well - and I'm not sure anything I might contribute at this point could ultimately be of use or helpful ... kind of like that guest who stayed too long at the party, eating the last hors d'oeuvres. My avatar status now reads "graduate" - which sort of sums up how I feel. Without the cap and gown... Hey - Where's my BoneSmart diploma??
For the time being, I'll be wrapped up in work projects and back to the ever churning wheels. I will come check in when I can too. There's still a ways to go before I could be accused of walking purty or being fully recovered...but for now at least, I'm back on the road, chalking up some early mileage on the new titanium twins!
But I wanted to say, again, I'm so profoundly thankful to you
@Layla &
@Mojo333 and all the other mods and hippys here in BoneSmart world who so graciously helped and guided me through to healing the twin hips, through some breezy passages and some wicked rocky roads as well. Through the tears and fears, the bloomers and countdowns, the corkscrew and horse impressions, the Incredinle Hulk, and strategic pillow placements.
24/7 - I was never alone.
What a source of comfort, compassion and community this cyber recovery Inn has been for nearly 5 long months. We (me and the twins) couldn't have done it without all youz guyz.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
May you all turn fortuitous corners of healing just ahead!
