trying to keep my eyes open
I’m exhausted — wayy too much walking/driving long distances the past two days. What am I doing? The answer to that question will have to wait :)
Anyway, PT was great yesterday! My therapist gave me a few new exercises, and she stretched out my hip, knee, butt?!? Hip and knee cracked, which is scary, but relieved a lot of pressure, and helped with my motion. (Think of cracking your fingers - not the bad cracking). Walking is improving, gait-wise (which is technical for saying the way in which I walk is becoming more normal day by day). I still need to extend more on the end of a step, but getting there. Walking long distances is still difficult though — knee gets tired and foot swells a bit.
Also, I have been walking up the stairs at work 2-3 times a day. Yay for mid-day exercises! Can’t wait for more improvements!
