happy healthy hippy
A blog following my Triple Pelvic Osteotomy in January 2016
Where has the time gone?
So it's been nearly three months since I last blogged and I feel fantastic now. I am sooo ridiculously happy with what I've achieved recently. Last week I did:
The week before last I also did a 15 km trail walk that took all day with my family- completely painfree. Another new thing! And the most exciting thing is, I can finally see muscle in my legs! It's took two operations and 16 long months of rehab to build muscle again and get back into shape. I have got my identity back, I feel athletic again. I am proud of my body that I've worked hard to achieve. I wouldn't say I am back to 100% but the mild discomfort I do get isn't interfering with my life. I'm learning to live with it. I can go out and dance with my friends all night TWO nights in a row 🙌🏻...I can go to work all day and still go for a walk in the evening in the sun...I can go to the gym for a few hours and then clean the bathrooms, sort out the washing, and do the food shopping all in the same afternoon (hooray!) I am not having to restrict or adapt my life significantly anymore. I am enjoying being busy, I am back to "burning the candle at both ends" as my mum would say! The next test for my hip is five days walking and partying at Glastonbury festival - just the trek to the campsite with all my gear is going to be a challenge! But I have real confidence in my hip now! I will make sure I update next month to let you know how I got on. Andrea x
