Today is Saturday, eleven days after having my right hip replaced. My physical therapy exercises are becoming easier and I feel ready to add a third session to my day. The therapists didn't add any new exercises on Thursday when she was here. She only added some ankle weight to a few of the leg lifts. I am freely walking around the house with no aid. This morning I walked down the drive and back with just the walking stick. Navigating the stairs was not an issue. The most discomfort I have had has been a very sore and tight thigh, kinda between front and side, all the way to my knee. I'm planning to ask Dr. why that muscle has been so painful. It seems odd to me.
I cooked dinner last night. Seems like such a minor feat, but one step closer to normalcy.
My non-horsey husband has been caring for my two mares. Bella doesn't always make things easy for him. She likes to play 'catch me if you can scarey man'. Especially if it is raining:)
Returning to work (light duty) and my horse chores will be the next milestones. Both will be discussed and determined next week at my post-op check up.
Until then, just more walking, leg lifts and such, getting stronger every day.
