4 Weeks Post Surgery

I am really excited to report that my recovery is going really well. Last Wednesday I was upgraded from using a single crutch to trekking poles. Naturally on Sunday I needed to take them out for a real hike. I live in CO just outside of Boulder. My husband was going mt. biking at one of my favorite places to trail run and so I couldn’t resist going. I hiked 3 miles and it was great. I haven’t been able to do that without pain for a long time.
I’ve also been riding my spin bike for 30 min a day and today at my 4 week check I recieved the go ahead to ride outside. I’m really excited. I also got the ok to start swimming again. I am so excited. Running is right around the corner! I can’t believe how much enery I have back again.
Thanks to everyone for the on going support! I couldn’t remember what it was like to not be in pain but from the time I woke up in recovery I haven’t been in any real pain anymore.
To be continued.
