Thanks guys - it really does feel like I've turned a corner and every day there is one less minor irritation. Maggie - I'll have the real test next week when I am back in the office but I think my stamina is about 80-90% back. The first week back at yoga at week 6 - I was useless the rest of the day, last week I did yoga in the morning then went out and did other things in the afternoon. This weekend I did the full 90 minute yoga class on Saturday, went shopping and out to lunch with my husband and came home and spent 2 hours up and down a step ladder removing blinds and hanging hardware for curtains....and I was totally fine. Knee was a little stiff after the ladder but a quick 30 minutes of ice and I was good to go. I know that not all recoveries are the same but in my case, as long as I keep pacing myself and keep asking a bit more of myself each week, the energy levels seem to be rising along with me.
Regarding the MUA - we'll see - I know of at least one patient that was at 125 and he still did it - afterwards she was at 145 and kept it so...I'm not opposed. I'd never ask him to do it but if he looks at it and thinks there is a reason why it's a good idea, well, I'm ok with it. I don't have the negative association with it that many seem to have - the only real concern I'd have would be the "A" but since he didn't even use a general for my surgery, I doubt that is what he'd recommend for this.
United States
I will probably go to some of the day shows on South Congress when the music portion kicks off later in the week but I don't do the super crowded stuff, just not that into it, it's a mad house!
