20 weeks post hip Arthroscopy (again...)The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind. I started my new job at UCHealth, have been studying like crazy for the orthopedic clinical specialist exam (yikes) and preparing to present a poster at the Combined Sections Meeting in NOLA. Needless to say, this has left very little time for my own rehab. And... go figure... my hip hasn't been doing all that great lately. As much as I would like to blame my busy schedule on this, I know that there is a part of me that just doesn't want to rehab myself anymore. The last 5 years of my life has been an ever evolving rehab regimen and, quite frankly, I'm bored. You can only do the same exercises for so long without losing your mind!
While I was at our conference in NOLA, I did a lot of walking. We're talking miles upon miles each day. My hip was killing me. And of course, being surrounded by 15,000 PT's... people noticed lol. However, if you were going to be experiencing pain, being at a PT conference is not the worst place to be. One of my good friends taped me up for some of our longer days, which helped quite a bit, and another did some manual therapy for me. #PTfriendsarethebestfriends Even though this conference was a lot for my body to handle, it was just what I needed to re-energize myself. I had definitely fallen into a slump, which is totally understandable given the circumstances, but I didn't quite realize it myself until it was brought to my attention (thanks fraaands). So here is to a fresh start... after boards haha.
