I went to PT and aqua therapy today. I did the usual bike warm up and then bridges, Supata Baddah Kanassana, and stretches off the side of table for the front and side of my hip. Nothing too aggressive. From there I went to the pool and did some work there. I added a few ballet stretches as well that seemed to help putting my leg out in the front and moving it around to the back then going from back to front. That was perfect.
I am trying to figure out a less aggressive schedule and would like to try to do to PT and aqua therapy on Monday and Friday, massage and walking on Tuesday, yoga on Wednesday, Tuesday either paddle board yoga or restorative (depending on the weather), Friday PT and aqua therapy, Saturday walk, and Sunday Yin yoga. Sounds like the perfect plan!!!
Stay tuned!!

Day 58 - Amazing Yoga on Paddle Board Experience!
June 26, 2014
Today was so wonderful!! I took my first yoga class on paddle board from my daughter. She is remarkable! I am so honored to be her mother! I took it with my 2 friends who share the same birthday (tomorrow) and my goddaughter. The day was beautiful. The water was perfect. The air was warm. The sun was shining and the sky was the perfect blue with puffy white clouds. As we launched I was sure I would fall in. By the end of the class I was pretty sure I wouldn't. I managed to do full wheel and the beginning of crow. It is still too painful to put full weight on my right side. Side crow is fine but not ready for on the paddle board. It was challenging to do some things as I still have difficulty when I am crouching and my hip is closed but I managed to get into all the poses including camel.
After class my 2 friends and I went to the club to swim and for lunch by the pool. Doesn't get much better than that. We hope to take a class again next week and if I ever get enough money I would love to get a board for myself and my friends. We could do yoga in Sue's pool!!
Stay tuned!

Day 57 - Still Taking It Easy
June 25, 2014
I woke up planning on taking a level 3 yoga class this morning but thought better of it. My hip is still a bit tweaky and I am planning on taking my first yoga on paddle board class tomorrow from my daughter. I had other errands to run anyway and had to meet my friend for lunch before she presented in my class. I took the time to do the stretches that Mike showed me on Monday. Just warming up on the "bike" and doing Supta Baddah Konasana, bridges, and laying on my side with my leg hanging off the table behind me is helping my immensely.
Went to bed icing my hip and that always helps. Looking forward to tomorrow!
Stay tuned!

Day 56 - Backing Off
June 24, 2014
Today was a slow day. I am reluctant to do anything too aggressive this week since Mike suggested I back off a bit. Had to teach so did my stretches from yesterday. They really felt good and I am hoping that taking it easy will help. I took a hot bath to try to get my hip moving and listened to a meditation from Depak Chopra. Went early to my office to catch up on work and then taught. I love this class. My students are exceptional people!
Ended the day with ice on my hip and it felt great. I am still having pain in my hip joint and the outside of my leg still get tight and painful when I walk for any distance. I wake up repeatedly at night due to pain but at least I can get comfortable and fall back asleep. I continue to take 2 Tramadol in the morning at 2 before bed. I am becoming a bit disillusioned about ever having a fill recovery. It seems I should be a lot better by now.
Stay tuned!
