Thanks L, you know a month doesn’t go without a post so hear goes latest.
March 1 this year so 9 month ‘ where I am ‘
Had no complications since day one , not on any meds , didn’t need painkillers after a couple of week.Had no visit to see surgeon was discharged after 6 week .
Now visiting the gym 3/4 times per week , warm includes 5 mins on CT then treadmill 5 mins , then bike 5 mins .
10 mins stretching ,
Back to treadmill for vigorous ( HITTs ) 30 minute walking , tough but satisfying.
Warm down 10 mins .
Weights for 3 x15 reps legs and upper body .
Swimming twice a week .
Static bike is not as comfortable as it was at first , so not too much.
Can’t say I’m feeling any pain , more a noticeable uncomfortable ache when walking.Stills feels mechanical .
Still having to ‘ get things going again, stutter step ‘ on rising of getting in/ out car.
Can’t run yet but have tried some short steps.
Can still feel it when walking/ strolling ( 2 mile)
No swelling , scar hardly noticeable ,sleeping fine although still use pillows between knees , more for comfort.
On Bonesmart advice ,I take it easy if I get too achy .
It’s taken longer than I thought ,wish Bonesmart would have told me it would taken a year …..
Otherwise considering I,m feeling well , gym has helped enormously esp with the Shakin Steven’s .
It’s fun trying to hold back the sands of time.
Good luck everyone
