THR Sarah Bee (Re)Learns to Walk.

[Fit4Family]

Hi Sarah. Had a similar day yesterday but it was my knee. Helped our daughter sift through college stuff too long and guess overdid standing. Same thing, restless sleep. Hope today is better for you. I see a nap in my future.

Good morning @SarahBee and I do hope it IS a good morning!!! Sounds like you have a good combo there as long as the heating pad doesn't melt your ice!!!

 

[SarahBee]

I have been graduated from in home PT. Measured flexion has gone from 50 to 92. Measured abduction went from 15 to 28. Those are pretty good numbers, right?

I don't want to do more PT....

I had no idea that they do those measurements for hips... but sounds good to me! [emoji1303]

Well done Sarah! Hopefully you can just get your PT by carrying on with life now. They sure do @JennyLynne but it hurts like the devil to get some of them in my opinion.

 

[SarahBee]

Sounded good to me, too, Jenny Lynne. As I recall the highest for flexion is 115 and highest for abduction is 45 (?). I wss just comparing to where I started more than the "normal" ranges.

It's funny how different PT is for all of us..........numbers? What numbers? I didn't even have PT except for a first visit and a last visit. I never heard about these numbers when I had PT on my first hip either. So @SarahBee those numbers mean you're doing fantastic!!!! Excellent in fact!

 

[SarahBee]

Thanks, @SE Florida . Yes, she had this little wheel type thing that reminded me for all the world of an old slide rule with a wheel.

OMG! That is crazy @SarahBee !! Never heard of such a thing but there's a lot on here that's new to me. Or I'm just getting a little old!!!

 

[SarahBee]

I almost forgot. She had me go up two steps like an adult, not a toddler. A little scary coming down and a little bit of a pinch but I did it!

It's the little things that get us there! Good for you!!!

I feel like my little grandsons the first time they did stairs. "I did it! Did you see?"

I’ve only had one physio appointment... never mentioned numbers... no idea... got another appointment in 2 weeks time...
wonder if it’s worth it really???

@SarahBee And don't the stairs feel just as high as they would to little 2 year old legs!
I agree with you about the slide rule also. (the things you have in your house when married to an old school engineer).

 

[SarahBee]

Yes, Carrie May. And coming down with this itty bitty PT saying, I won't let you fall! Yeah, right! You and who else?

Up early because I simply could not lie in bed any longer. My back and legs were achy all night! Not painful, exactly, just there! At any rate, I had to moooove!

Have a follow up appointment today with my primary care doctor re: my blood pressure and the swelling in my foot. The foot looks goid, I can see tendons and blood vessels. BP has been coming down slowly. Will fight any meds. I'll do diet and exercise to get my nice, low, pre op BP back!

Next week will be my first follow up appointment with OS. Can't wait for them to rip the tape off my incision. Itchy and loose anyway.

Hope everyone has a lovely day!

 

[JennyLynne]

Sounds like today’s appointment will go quite well! Since everything seems to be resolving itself, I bet your doc will be pleased and won’t prescribe anything

Interesting that you haven’t seen your OS yet. I’m sure your antsy for that!! What kind of bandage do you have on?
