Hi all!
Sorry for my absence for the last day or so. It has been quite a week. On Wednesday, I worked for about 7 hours, then went to PT, this time for 90 minutes, then had to go back to work for another couple of hours for our Winter Concert. God love those kids, but it sounded like they were squeezing a bag of cats. Oy! Yesterday we had an emergency staff meeting after school because there were rumors all over my district (and surrounding counties) of some anticipated violence on school campuses today. So, put in an 11 hour day yesterday, on top of starting the day with my OS appointment. Went home, showered, eat dinner and hit the hay!
Today, parents pulled their students out of school because of all the rumors, etc. We had almost 600 out of 2200 absent. Made for a quiet day...thankfully. A very busy, but uneventful day. I ate like a pig today with all the sweets and baked goods. I think I just grazed all day....Mooo!
So, back to the OS appointment. He took my crutch away from me! He gave me a cane and introduced him as "Steve." Told me that I could lean on Steve and I would know when to dump him! Guy has a sense of humor...who knew! Seriously though, when I asked him how long Steve and I had to date, he told me whenever I stopped LURCHING around, I could become a single woman again. Boy is walking with a cane WAY MORE WORK and WAY MORE TIRING than my old reliable crutch. He took x-rays and some leg measurements and told me that the prothesis had "settled" about 2 mm so he believed that I had about a 1/4" LLD with the operated leg being the shorter one. I hadn't noticed yet. I see him in two months for another round of x-rays. He extended my PT for an additional 4 weeks, so I will be in it for 6 more weeks. PT is a lot of work at this point, but I can see and feel a huge difference. He said that I can go back to the gym after the new year, but not to lift weights...no free weights for another 6 weeks. He said that all restrictions (90 degree, crossing the legs, etc.) can be disregarded in another 6 weeks. I got the green light for returning to Softball at the 16-20 week mark, as tolerated, and Crossfit at the 24 week mark, provided I don't lift a lot in the beginning and instead do lighter weights and more reps. I don't feel ready for either of those activites just yet.... but soon
To answer your question sissy46, the name was MasterBatters! Say it fast and then you will know why it was an adult league with lots of adult libations. We used to say we were a drinking team with a softball problem. It is a fast-pitch league. I used to pitch, but it is brutal on the shoulder, so I have played first base and short stop for the last 3-4 years.
So, that's my report! I promise to catch up with all your threads tomorrow. I see you all have been very busy Warriors!

Master Batters I would have thought the name better for a male team, but maybe I'm just being sexist
Together you can accomplish ANYTHING!! LOL The spa pedicure sounds lovely; I need to get one again soon myself.
