Scar tissue

[Catrin]

I have officially graduated from physical therapy

I do feel much better, though still have a little discomfort from scar tissue in the hamstring. I am told that this will eventually resolve with time and exercise. I wouldn't even call it pain, I am just aware of it.

Hips are feeling MUCH better, though my left hip is still quite tight - he says the "capsule" is where the tightness is and then he explained what that is. I still have some approved sessions left so I can return if I need to - but quite frankly the new routine my trainer has put together in consultation with the PT appears to be quite effective.

Just in time for the first 45 degree temps coming Sunday - time for a real bike ride I will use common sense and not over-do things - shouldn't try to ride like a wild-woman on the first real ride in two months! To be honest I haven't had a REAL ride since my injury in September/October but that is something else.

Beer and a fire tonight to celebrate

Lumbar extensions are still part of my daily life - it is really hard to remember to do them every 2 hours - but I keep at it.
