Happy New Year! Things are going great. I haven’t forgotten about the site, there just hasn’t been much going on that has been worthy of posting.
Every couple weeks I go through a rough couple days of pain and discomfort, but the leg has generally been feeling better. Other than during the holidays I’ve stuck to my gym routine: weight training 6 days per week, 20 minutes intense cardio 3 days per week. I’m still doing the elliptical, but I’m hoping to motivate myself to start swimming a couple days a week. I started paying much more attention to my diet as well, more fruits and vegetables, as well as more calcium-rich foods.
I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon around the first of March at which we’ll discuss taking these screws out of my leg. They prevent me from sleeping comfortably on my right side and cause the majority of the pain in my hip.
