happy healthy hippy
A blog following my Triple Pelvic Osteotomy in January 2016
The overwhelming tiredness has hit me again this week! Some friends visited over Easter so I had another sociable and fun weekend. Tuesday, I headed the pool and even did a whole 5 mins on a stationary cycle in the gym beforehand! New personal best 💪🏻 Slowly but surely!! After a tough hydro session Wednesday, I was flat out and then haven't found the energy to do much else since!
Yesterday I was sore and miserable so I sulked and moaned a bit! My morning hadn't started so well - I had tried to shave my legs in the shower so leaned over but my blood pressure must have suddenly dropped as I went dizzy, lost my balance, and thought I was about to pass out. Thankfully I didn't fall but it was enough to shake me up and remind me that my body is still recovering from surgery. I have been putting a lot of effort in to keeping a positive attitude but il admit sometimes this hip journey feels like it's never going to end and I lose hope for a few moments. A lot of, what I would class as the "post op" pain, seems to have gone so my symptoms now are too familiar for my liking! I know I probably need to find a better balance of rehab Vs rest. When I have a good day, I've maybe been doing too much and paying for it the next couple of days. Increased pain knocks my confidence and morale. Even as a physio and understanding that I should be pacing myself, it's a frustrating part of my rehab working out my body's limits. It's made me realise that I'm still healing and have to accept I can't go full throttle yet with my exercises. I want to work my muscles to their optimum but I need to appreciate I still have a broken pelvis. I am sure by my next post I'll have it all figured out 😄 Andrea x
