May 28, 2011

Friday was not as good as the three previous days and I was disappointed to show up for physical therapy. I had hoped for a much more significant improvement since Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday had been great days.
But after two hours doing my exercises and being checked by my PT, I felt better. Progress is definitely on its way.
Yesterday was a busy day with long walk through the lovely Old Town Clovis before and after a lovely dinner with my husband. The weather is totally awesome here and it was really nice to walk through familiar streets without much effort.
Everyone at home (kids and parents alike) was exhausted after a long and busy week and we all were in bed shortly after 11:00 p.m.
I slept well and wasn't as sore as I usually am when I wake up. I biked for 25 minutes and then did a big grocery shopping trip.
After lunch, I finished my leg exercises and walked the mile-loop around our local lake.
I was fine the whole time so I guess this is real progress.
Because of Memorial Day, I don't have physical therapy on Monday but I will take advantage of the long weekend and walk more.
My leg slides are getting easier and smoother. But most of all, my gait is faster and so much more similar to my regular stride.
If only I could skip another surgery and go away with my family this summer!
