My 2 month appointment came and went! In fact, I am almost 3 months past my surgery! My surgeon is super excited about my progress and I am allowed to do pretty much anything except high-impact running. I go beck in a year for a check-up. I am so excited about how much I can do and without pain!!! It is crazy. I knew how much I was hindered in the past, but now I see how much my life has changed already. My tendons are still a little tight and my range of motion is still restricted, so I am headed to a Physical therapist soon to get some ideas on stretching. I have knocked out so many of my Kick the Cane list: going to IKEA (twice now), went to the Southern Women's show, mowing the yard, bowling (that was the hardest, and a little painful), dancing, swimming, and walking at Riverwalk. My plan is to continue crossing things off my list and just keep active!
I am so much happier, and people have even told me how much more I am smiling. My steps have increased from about 2,000-3,000 steps last year to 7,000-8,000 steps already!! I am so grateful to have the surgery, and I know I am on such a better path! The picture is from Riverwalk.
