PAO Surgery Post Op Day 6: Not Giving Up

PAO surgery Journey.
Sleep was better. Still have weird sensations and wake up in panic attacks. Side effect of lots of meds I guess.

Getting stronger, supposed to do 3 sets of 20 isometric exercises for calf, quads, and glutes. I bump that up to 200-300 a day now. Also been working on lymphatic massage and muscle massage on myself, helps. Keto is also doing it’s part. Have energy, swelling is very limited now, don’t get hungry much. Loooove it!

Wandered around and found my resistance band. Knocked out a couple hundred reps for some upper body.

Feels good, sore already. Want to come back better than before. Really interested in joining a rock gym when I’m able. Good physical and mental workout.

My Mom and husband are really amazing, helping move, go to the bathroom, with over 30 animals…very grateful for their company as well. Next week will be much more lonely when my Mom leaves.

SO HAPPY that my friend Michelle came up to say hi and show me how to move at night. Long drive, but I really appreciated the visit!!

I’m definitely turning in to a creepy cat lady.
