Day 22 (this hip is 3 weeks old)

It is hard to measure progress daily as it is minimal.  However, from one week to the next there are significant distances.  A week ago I just started using the cane now I hardly use it at all.  I am significantly stronger on every exercise and my walk is improving.

Today's walk was 1.3 miles in 22:55.  The pace was a little slower due to a different route with a lot of turns.  Also, my shins felt sore today.  The cane might have touched the ground 10x during the walk.

Started outpatient PT.  Did Tens unit, 1 leg squats, let ext, leg curl, calf, balance board.  Nothing ground breaking or hard.  I need to stretch my right oblique to get even.

I went for another little walk to push my son around in his buggy I put together today for him today.  He loved it so the 90 minutes it took to put together was worth it.

I have needed a nap the last 3 days which is odd because I hadn't napped in awhile. But, I look at it as extra recovery.  I will be able to drive myself to pt next week and will get myself back to the gym in some capacity.
