A little over a year ago....
To say A lot has changed is an understatement. At the time of writing this EVERYTHING has changed. I still have a long way to go. I now feel like I am moving forward with intent and purpose again. The repair of my hip did not just bring that. It helped. The other major factor has been my time with the Demon Hunter. The past month we have found some rather large Demons in the deep dark forest of my mind. I still need to work past or above them, for now at least having found them when even I had forgotten they were there is the change in head space and timing I have needed.
Things don't feel so empty and hollow any more. I am looking forward and setting real goals and dreaming about doing other things (That i am writing down and plan on figuring out how to achieve them.
Surgeon's News and Notes
I will be requesting copies of my X-rays for posterity's sake in these logs.
I saw the surgeon about 2 weeks ago. It was nothing but fantastic news. Everything has healed as it should. No cracked bone, no signs of movement (shifting). The replacement is ROCK FUCKING SOLID.
So I started pumping out the questions that I needed answered. The short version.
At this point anything that would break my hip would break a normal hip. Which means I have gotten my life back. More so if you count the fact i KNOW i only have a limited timeline with this joint. So there is NO time to waste.
I am going to continue to work on the soft tissue stuff aka get the muscles and the movement patterns back to 100%. The glute has come light years since the day after surgery. My lower back is feeling solid. Movement is still stiff and quality of my stretch reflex leaves a little to be desired. The example i tell people:
If I bend over to tie my shoes I have to stand upright in between shoes or else my left glute hamstring locks up and it is incredibly painful when I stand up.
I am making strides daily. My training has evolved to a full time training template as of this week. I am still doing rehab and lower back prehab it just does not have to be the sole focus anymore.
When I say Full Training Template I am actual mean this:
In the Last Month I am now able to Squat and DL!
The numbers are low and no where near my PR's or GYM PR's. When that happens everything I have done to get those PR's will feel so much sweeter.
Next log will start to cover my actual training. I figured after little over a month i needed to write something to get back into the swing of things.
