Monday Dr L appt in the afternoon, a mixed up day, but good appt. He mentioned that my cerebellum will need to relearn walking and etc, love the casual science drops :D

Tuesday 6 week follow up with Dr P-G (I though for sure I was 7 or 8 weeks!). All great! She moved leg and hip around, noted the pain and said it's to be expected. I can bike!! Short and flat course, 8 week if unclipped, 10 weeks if clipped. I smiled the rest of the day for this news. Can work up to swimming without pull buoy. Next 6 weeks the focus is healing, being careful, resting, and normalizing. She also pointed out that I have to mentally relearn, in particular to NOT hesitating when I clip out while biking. She's right on that, I'll hesitate.

And kept the rental car for one more week, next Tuesday will be a month!

Wednesday, HAPPY BEEDAY! PT and three new exercises. Long day at work with FACS assay but otherwise a sunny warm gorgeous day. I walked too much, between parking meter payments and such, irritated my hip. Best part of day was hearing from family and friends :)

Thursday, yes I've irritated my hip, it hurt all day. Hip flexor as usual. Swim was great, slowed down a bit without the pull buoy, 21 mins down to 22, ha! My form is terrible, and this conclusion supported by observation that my lower back was also irritated today. Carrying a backpack, walking, could feel tightness, fatigue, and "pings" in the upper rear left hip. Iced in bed.

Friday (today!) At PT we discussed my fatigues and pains. Three new exercises -- step up and step down stuff. Bought a blue band as I've graduated from green on the hip bridges. She tested my back (do a hip bridge, then back down, then she felt pelvic bones for 'levelness'), and the left side was rotated back. She demonstrated an exercise to counter those muscles pulling it out of place.

Lots of commas today, too tired for full sentences?

My sis and her family coming down in a few hours!! WHOOP!!
