Not me turning up today 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ and it’s not until next week!! Luckily they had cancellations, and I could have the appointment today, that was super lucky.

Boooo it’s the last session, unless they decide it can carry on if I buy cast covers that are waterproof. I believe land physio will start after today. Though I’ve been doing my own version all week with only 2 days of rest.

I won’t lie, I’m going to really miss the warmth in my bones, and how much exercise you can put out, thanks to the supportive nature of the water, as well as the resistance making you work harder. As a rehabilitation factor, there really is no comparison to the results hydrotherapy gives you. It’s been 10 weeks since the steroid injection, so far so good. I pray it stays.

Hydrotherapy Exercises (I know you know them, but I like to list each week)

* Walk up and down the pool X 8 times

* Small Squats X 25 reps

* Left Leg Lunges X 25 reps

* Hip Extension standing with resistance ring X 25 reps

* Hip Abduction standing with resistance rings X 25 reps

* Hip Flexion standing with resistance ring X 25 reps

* Step ups Left leg leading X 40 steps

* Side Step ups Left Leg Leading X 40 steps

* Hip Abduction lying down with resistance ring X 25 reps

* Hip Extension lying down with resistance ring X 25 reps

* Bicycle cycling with Flippers X 10 mins

* Crab walking, low sideways squat, up and down pool X 8 times

Well I will be sleeping this off for sure!! I wanted to go as hard as I could, and do as much as I could as it’s the last one.

I have perhaps irrational, but a sense of dread that the psoas issue will come back while I’m recovering from hand surgery, so I need to think of ways, I’m stable enough to do some moves to keep the strength up. Surgery is 12 days away, it’s the dominant hand so I should be able to do some basic aerobic step exercises and hip flexion, hip abduction, hip extension surely?

Apparently I’m being referred back to ROH to see what they want to do, no idea on timeline though.
