Today was a day of taking it easy after a rigorous day before. I had PT and was informed that I should plan to transition to a cane on Wednesday. I am not sure I will be ready by then and need to work on trusting my hip to bear more weight. I managed a couple of walks but spent most of the day trying to get my brain back on track. A balance of Tramadol and ice helped with the pain, which is still present.
I have to try to not think of the others I spoke to who were up and moving and pain free less than a week after surgery. While I try to explain the reasons, the bottom line is...it is what it is. Everyone is different and I need to take my journey without comparing myself to others. I find this revelation quite interesting, as lately I have been comparing my professional work to others around me and feeling inadequate. Perhaps the lesson here is larger than I thought. First I need to get my body back and my mind and confidence will follow. Comparing myself to others is not helpful I need to "stay on my own yoga mat", so to speak.
Stay tuned!
Namaste
