Dday+32 - Physio, walking and feeling good......

The day started early with an 8 am physio appointment - I demonstrated my walking with and without crutches and he decided as long as I work hard at it I don't need my sticks in the house at all and really only need 1 when I'm out walking (unless the weather/conditions dictate otherwise) also went through exercises and gave some new ones as follows -
Stand on op leg and step back and forward with brief pause mid step 3 x 10 back/forward
Stand on op leg with support and do mini squat 3 x 5
Step up 2 steps and back down with op leg 3 x 5 up/down

Also modify the bridges and use 70% op leg 30% non op leg

Finally gave a deep tissue massage around the scar to try and move some "thickness"

So all in all very pleased with the visit - one stick down on to go!!

All rehab work done once today
Walked 1.1 mile am + 0.9 mile pm = 2 miles :) :)
