Hippy Chick: Post-Op Weeks 3 & 4

This was not the return to tennis I was hoping for ...


The good news is that I was able to graduate from my walker and move on to a cane. Mark sent this pic from Walgreens with the choices. Can you guess which one I picked?** Which CANE! Not which box of condoms in the background! LOL!


Had a huge breakthrough in PT recently! I was really struggling to raise my op leg knee up while standing. And one day this week, it was like the hip flexor muscles came back to life! I can comfortably raise my knee 20+ times! It's still much harder to do it lying down, but I'm getting there!

**I ended up with the pink cane. It's actually covered in hot pink roses and is pretty ugly, but it was adjustable height, and had a cushioned handle. And it matched my sneakers! I don't need it to walk around the house much, but I will continue to use it for a while if I'm limping, sore from PT, or going to walk for a long distance.
