As predicted hydro on Monday killed my hip and back off. It effectively wrote off the whole day and the next day. Thigh so swollen and full feeling. It’s also been having a sudden jump/jerk in my sleep, which then pulls the flexor again, and puts me back to square one.

However frustrating this is, I remember it all so well with the first hip. See here taking 2 to 3 sometimes more days to recover from 1 physical activity. So factoring in Saturday, it’s no wonder I was still sore and stiff Monday before I even did Hydro. Though knowing it happened before still doesn’t mitigate the frustration I feel, or guilt from not being able to do multiple things back to back.

The sun is shining outside so I’m not going to be too down. And reading a fellow bloggers blog I feel inspired to try something different https://bionicoldguy.home.blog/2022/05/13/another-setback-soon-ill-be-rehabbing-again/ I’m going try some upper body weights and exercises while my lower body needs to heal a bit. I can’t express how lovely it is to read other blogs from people who have been exactly where you’ve been. It’s inspiring.

I found some post surgery exercises to try as my shoulders are particularly crunchy lately, so using my own body weight for now to build up first.

I guess some movement is better than none, and I’ll soon be able to grab weights, I need a better brace for my hands too, so I can protect my thumbs before I add equipment.
