This week marks 8 weeks post-op. My 2 month goal was to walk unassisted in my house, and I have reached my goal! The other day I was getting out of my bed, and I looked around and wondered, "Where is my cane? Surely I didn't leave it in the kitchen!" So I got out of bed, toddled to the kitchen, and hallelujah, there was my cane resting against the counter! Since then I have consciously walked around my house some without a cane every day.
Today I walked 3 laps on the walking path in 11 minutes. Before my PT setback, I had walked 2 laps in 10 minutes! I am feeling again like I have turned a corner. As long as I can keep my physical therapist from knocking me down, I feel like my progress is going to increase, not necessarily exponentially, but certainly at a steeper rate. Yay me!!
Yay!!!
