As a veteran of the Navy (thank you for your service), you are now a THR veteran and learning how to recover 2nd time around. Who says we don't learn from previous mistakes.
Sounds like the impatience is kicking in but you've been through this so hang tight, you know it gets better.
Let us know about belly issue!!! Hope it's nothing.
Yeah, I'm impatient, but should know better the second time around! It's always good to hear wiser voices to reset my expectations, thanks!
My Primary care physician could not detect any hernia, so he thinks it's just a muscle strain. I can't recall the comedian who did this skit, but basically it goes something like this:
"Dr, it hurts when I do this"
"Well don't do that!"
His advice was to try and limit movement that causes the pain and see if it resolves. If it doesn't, he'll order a CT scan.
After the headache fiasco yesterday AM, I felt great. Swelling is way down and pain has faded just to the tight/general discomfort feeling. I'm icing less and less, but use the icing sessions as an excuse to rest and disconnect (i've not been good about not working, but only doing 3-4 hrs a day with frequent breaks is keeping me sane),
Today is my 59th Bday! 2 new hips before 60! I'm excited to regain flexibility and better overall fitness this next year, I mentioned in previous posts, but I repeat myself all the time, the change in my quality of life after the first hip was eye opening. Having both upgraded is something I only dreamed of previously. This year a series of events and opportunities unfurled to send the signal "IT'S TIME!"
