Blog posts are slightly irregular since there is not much to
report while I am still healing. I’m at 4 ½ weeks into the 6 to 8 weeks. PT has
been really helping. Yesterday while laying down I was able to move my leg to
the right and back. It was a huge accomplishment since previously I could
barely move it to the side without any pain. My muscles definitely feel sore
from being used. My foot is still sensitive. I rarely if ever put a shoe on. It
still looks a couple of shades darker than my good side.
(sorry, not the most attractive feet!)
It is a weird feeling but I can tell the bones are getting
better. Coughing does not hurt (although I can still feel it in my hip). My pelvic
bone doesn’t have any pain when getting up and down. It does not hurt as much
to flip onto my stomach to sleep. I still feel like I’m sitting on something so
there are definitely a couple of weeks to go. It just gives me some hope that I
can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I was able to go back to work for a couple of hours. It felt
great to get out of the house and get some sense of normalcy. Unfortunately
working a full 10 hours a day does not seem possible yet. My back muscles get
sore after a few hours. I wish I knew how long that phase would last…
With everything going on I hope to do the DUI Victims
Memorial 10k in May. I feel after my experience it is important to do. I highly suggest doing a run for charity. It is a different kind of motivation.

Counting down the days until I get back to running!
What an incredible story!! Keep up the amazing work!
