Today marks 4 months post op for my hip and the 200th day of using my bone growth stimulator! It was a big week for me physically and I feel like I may have turned a corner this week. I met this lovely lady and fellow PAO Warrior at a San Diego "hippie" meet up …
This week has been amazing in recovery terms. I did my first beach cruiser ride on Monday, Tuesday I had the hardest land therapy session yet, Wednesday was my last water therapy and today I had another hard land PT session. It was the first time I've been able to tolerate this much land activity …
Today was my last day of water therapy! I remember my first session I met a guy that had just finished his last session. I told him he was so lucky and he agreed and we shared a good laugh! Now I'm that person!!!!! I'm so excited to have these past (almost) four months under …
I saw Dr. Santore today. After our last appointment he wanted to see me in a month and to follow up after my neurology appointments. He was very pleased with my progress and said that I'm catching up in the healing now. It was a slow start, but he said everything looks really good now. …

I had one land therapy and two water therapy appointments this week. That was my first time having that much PT in one week. I have max'd out on my water therapy exercises which is great timing because next week will be my last appointment. With the set back over the weekend, I ended up …
I have slept more then I have been awake these past three days. I have never experienced anything like this. I am sleeping solidly during the night, then wake up early and am awake for about an hour then fall back asleep. I haven't had appointments to drag me out of bed, so I have …
So I'm pretty bummed....my physical therapist saw me for a last minute and pretty urgent session today. I could barely walk all day due to back pain. He got me in for an appointment and assessed my gait and range of motion. He said that the hip looks good, but I am not using it …
Over the last couple of days, I have seen a neurologist and gone through a lot of testing. The good news is that the nerve and muscle tests were basically normal and my blood work was as well. We are trying to make sense of my fatigue, heightened reflexes, horrible back pain and other symptoms …
