Day 18
@leejaa My PT person made learning how to get out of the house safely, a priority today, with my big dog.
He goes out first. I leave the storm door locked open until I get back in.
So good to get out for a few minutes. We settled on a safe place to sit. I keep my phone with me.
Also, she exchanged my slider bench for a smaller handicap bench, which I already had. We practiced the best way to get in and out of the tub.
I have not needed to use ice for a couple of days now. Off pain medication.
I did find out how weak my new hip muscles are for a few seconds yesterday.
I was just using my cane for a short distance and I started listing to the right, but my muscles on the right were not engaging. Thank goodness I caught myself on some furniture. New respect for how long this process will take.
It's a really sunny day today.
I hope to get out of the house again for a little bit. Hope you are having a good day.
