3.5 Weeks Down

                                    Dinner with Matt/Molly Smith and Brandon and Lauren Barnett.



I'm 3.5 weeks post fracture of my Greater Trochanter and I couldn't be more pleased with my progress.  Although I don't have another Dr. appointment until June 18 I can already tell that I'm healing ahead of schedule. The Dr. tells me that formal PT will be prescribed then but I've already started doing some things with his permission and I feel stronger every day.

Injuries are an opportunity to pay attention to other areas of your life you ignore.  Two days after my accident I was in the weight room, three days back in the pool.  My goal is simply to get stronger and improve my swim fitness. Before anyone writes me, I'm doing everything with Dr.'s permission. 

I gauge progress by how my hip feels today versus one week ago.  I amazed at how much progress I've been able to make.  Yesterday I was able to go up the starts without having to one step with each leg. It wasn't pretty and I don't think I can do that every time I head up the stairs but it is definitely progress.

Since I'm not on a crazy training schedule I have had more time to spend with family and friends and work in my garden.  I took our daughter to Film on the Rocks the other night and saw Office space and have a couple of Rockies games on the schedule for this month.   I also purchased a fly fishing guided tour for my son and I which I hope to be able to use later this summer.

My mind continues to be my greatness tool in my injury.  I truly believe this will not be a long term issue and time and proper rehabilitation will get me back to where I was before I fell.  Thank you to everyone for your positive thoughts and words as they MEAN A LOT TO ME.  God Bless!!
