set back - so after last weeks slip/fall i thought at the time id got away with it - not to be.... ive had some discomfort during the day and a bit of pain in bed at night - nothing extreme but enough to slow my progress ive done little in the way of rehab work as the work on the ball was too uncomfortable and the step downs were sending a reminder through me too - squats not too bad and done a few....
revelations - after 8 weeks of been a painkiller free zone i have started to notice just how much pain i have in my right shoulder and hand....i guess during 3 yrs or so of constant pill popping to relieve the hip pain it masked the others aches and niggles.....
re-evaluations - a little while ago i set some goals and whilst i have achieved the short term goals and see no reason why the long long term goals cant be met - due to the recent set back and an over optimistic view (skewed by the fact that i wasnt working at the time and didnt realise just how tough it would be doing the whole real life thing) my mid term goal of walking a marathon 6 months after hip replacement just isnt going to happen - so new goal will be.... walk a half marathon 6 months after hip op and aim for a marathon around a year to the day.....
progress - ......this week i have started the long road back to kettlebell training - nothing strenuous just some work without the bell BUT a step in the right direction all the same and the biggest plus here is i feel good there is no issues, clicking popping or otherwise....so pleased i am with this i am off to walk for an hr and half to celebrate!
on another slighty odd note i looked at my backside in the mirror this am and i still have a huge muscle deficiency around the right glute that i guess only time and hard work will improve...
that is all sng
