finally
the time has come and i can stop counting the days post op -im now 6
weeks post op this is the magic number, this is the mile stone, this
is what ive been working towards..........
so
had my follow up appointment with the surgeon - for whatever reason i
was nervous! not sure why but i was bricking it - somewhere in the
back of my mind i think i thought there was going to be a sting in
the tail after everything seemed to have gone so well.....BUT no
issues, no sting in the tail - he was pleased to tell me it had gone
and was doing as well if not better than expected at this stage,
basically ive done all i can and its worked!! all the rehab work and
walking has done the trick :)
so
the burning question was do i still have to adhere to the
restrictions? the answer - no not really, dont go throwing myself
into life, break myself in gently and if it hurts stop - makes sense
really!! :)
can i
drive? yes no problem!!
is
there anything wrong with the other one? no!!
what
happens now? keep up the good work and see you in a year for a follow
up+xray!!
chuffed
with that - boy done good :)
followed
up with a nice little 1.1 mile walk Monday pm (in addition to 0.5 m
in the morning and a lunchtime stroll)
tuesday
walked 0.5m in the morning + a lunchtime stroll and followed up with
1.2 miles Tuesday pm
GOALS-
short
term
after
last returning to work last week and easing off the walking this week
i will be building it back up - ill include a lunchtime walk and try
for an evening walk of a mile+ and aim to build that to 1.5 miles
each evening and aim for longer walks sat/sun
medium
term
set
up the turbo trainer and build in some bike time to help with fitness
and build more stamina
long
term (6months-june)
this
may seem a little off the wall - but im going to walk a marathon
distance - ill eat fish and chips half way and drink some tea along
the way and it will all be very civilised but its my goal and i can
do what i want!!
long,long,long
term (september 2015)
im
going to do a 24 hr/100km challenge walk
