Two years ago this time I was arriving at the surgery center for my "drive-thru" hip replacement. Yes, hip number 2 is 2 years old today.
It was a long journey in the first year. After a quick initial recovery, I developed psoas impingement and dealt with significant pain until I could get the right diagnosis and treatment.
Now, 11 months after the psoas release surgery, this double hippie is so happy! I am hiking, dancing and now powerlifting. My first competition (just to get my feet wet) will be an internal meet at the place my trainer works. I'm not where I want to be for other meets yet but want to give it a try. I currently do 135 lb on squats, 170 lb on deadlifts and 85 lb on benchpress.
Have a great day everyone!
