5 weeks on right hip
Can I run yet? Jump? OK. How about walk without crutches? Not yet? I feel like I am ready, and have been, to get rid of these crutches and get into a serious recovery schedule. But the doctor says it takes 8 weeks for the bone to heal so I am waiting for a few more weeks. At least I am doing more strengthening work at physical therapy. The stretching is actually much more strenuous than the strengthening portion of the PT. I feel like my left side is just not able to get flexible while I continue to put most of my weight on it all day. I made a point of not doing much walking this weekend and I think that may have helped.
