Day 23 - Good One!

I have been very conservative lately and today it seems to be paying off. At my last PT appt. I showed my therapist some of the extra things I've been doing on my own like fire hydrants, planks, flag, etc... and he said that's why I'm experiencing pain and have digressed back to crutches. He said those exercises put weight on the joint and are too advanced for this stage of rehab. He said this makes sense as to why I took a step back in progress.

Since sticking to the PT plan carefully and giving my hip additional rest, I feel great. I worked out today - did about 18min on the bike and all the allowed PT exercises. Afterwards I iced then practiced baseball with my son before taking him to his game. I brought one crutch and spent a lot of time standing.

When I got home I got under some ice. I still feel good - no pain... Hope this keeps up :)
I should also mention I've been cruising around the house without crutches more than half the time.


Working with my boy before his game :)
