Saturday I participated in the Hip Replacement Marathon.
In 90 degree heat I sprinted, in hip replacement fantasy lingo that is to say, I walked slowly with determination and without assistance down my block across Central Park West into Central Park and past Tavern on the Green.
I sat down without a support cushion and enjoyed the outdoors.
My reaction to mingling with humanity was similar to re-engaging with society right after the pandemic.
I needed to acclimate and breathe deeply.
After spending time sitting in the shade and sipping a cold beverage, I proceeded to walk home without a cane.
I medaled in my own mind.
A bit more than two weeks and I am walking without husband or metal assistance.
I must admit that lying down and icing was blissful, and, despite the pain, the experience was exhilarating.
Prognosis…steady baby steps eventually graduating to a purposeful stride.
Intensive PT commences today.
Congratulations!
You Go Girl!!!
Baby steps are the best steps!!! Happy you are on the mend!
