PAO Surgery Journey
It took me half of the day to realize this, but May 02, 2019 is my one week anniversary of recovering from the sawing, cutting, and rebuilding of my left hip socket.
One week post op and doing great. Mom and I went out to PetCo for worms and dog bones, then to Starbucks (mmmmm), and finally to HEB to try Curbside pickup for the first time. Steaks for dinner!
Dad came over shortly after we got back home. Getting in and out of the car and steps in the house is quite interesting. But we made it work!
Mom made some kick ass mozzarella, basil, and tomato noms. Delish! Waiting for my husband to get home and bored them with our endless YouTube videos of skis, bikes, and lizards.
Pax got some time out with my Dad who is a 40+ year K9 officer and trainer. Such a crazy 6 month old puppy!
Worked on excercises a lot. Hundreds of reps! Back is getting stronger, going to implement some dumbell work soon. Gotta get those climbing arms ready…and ?Super Duke? throttle control 🤫🤐
Got to feed my babies! Had a wonderful Jurassic Park moment with Jax, she was rustling her plants and totally looked like the T-Rex in the woods. She put on a good show with the rats on tongs.
All in all looking forward to getting better. Still no weight on the left leg at all, but the body adapts. Palms still hurt from the walker, have destroyed two pads already…140lbs right on the handles sqishes and tears them. Oh well.
Will miss my family when they leave, but enjoying the company for now 😀
