4 weeks today and I can't believe my progress.
Last week I walked a total of 14600 metres, 14.5 kms
First it was 300m along the river, return. Then 500 and return.- 1km. the next day a two bridge walk - 2kms. Then last Wednesday for my 3rd birthday I made it to Cafe Dear Delicious return - 3kms.
Then I spent 2 days in bed reading The Girl Who Played with Fire.
Then on the Saturday I walked 5kms return to my favourite place - Coffee First.
Since then I've learned to climb the 93 Steps of Death behind my place and for the 3rd day in a row have climbed up and down those steps. Am having Coffee at Bar L'unico - maybe they're steps to Heaven afterall.
DRUGS
aside from the social addiction of coffee in cafes, I'm weaning myself off some of the others.
At Rehab I was on 5mg Targin. Last week I dropped it to 2.5mg. Now I've dropped the morning one and only taking it at night.
I dropped the panamax ages ago. I have 1 aspirin for blood thinning.
And anti constipation pills. Despite prunes and teas and fruit and tablets I'm still very rabbitish.
Rehab as an outpatient is excellent with very targeted exercises. What they cut through for the operation is the glutimus medias and this effects lateral movements of the hips. We are building up this gradually with sometimes quite challenging exercises.
working on getting a good gait.
