THR My Journey begins

[bellaroma]

Well 9 weeks today for my right hip and am at over 5 months on my left. This healing has been alot about getting my strength and endurance back after 2 years not being able to do anything. I am now up to a 2 mile walks each day and am going over 10,000 steps on my pedometer. I WENT ON MY KAYAK YESTERDAY for a short paddle, but this was something I sooo... much missed. Sitting down was a little more difficult then I would have thought, as when I straddled the kayak, I could not lower my self down slowly, but had to plop down, getting up was like I thought it would be. I couldn't rise from the yak, but had to go into the water on my knees and then get up holding the yak, but who cares I was so glad to do it. I will be fading out of here, as I return to work on Monday, but if anyone needs anything please pm me and I will answer. This site has been a great support and I will always come back to check the site and help in anyway I can.

Beth, we would never push you out of the nest, but it's lovely to see you fly.

but I can hear life calling you!! Just don't be a stranger---be sure and update us from time to time---a pic of you in your kayak would be nice.

Take care, we care.

Wahoo! In and out of the kayak! Yay, yay, yay! It has been such a rocky ride for you over the last 5+ months after surgery and it is sooooo wonderful to know you're well on your way to doing the things you love! Things will only get better from here! I am so excited for you (can't you tell?)!!!!

Go on then, go enjoy life as you should! I'm really going to have to head over to FB to see what everyone's up to!

WooHoo! I actually did a little fist pump in the air for you when I read this at work.

So glad to hear you were able to get out in your kayak. You and Sissy are inspiring me - I am actually looking into taking some kayaking classes here. See you on FB!
