Kate- my pool is only 3.5 feet all around and the PT does not want me to wear any weight up top being as tall as I am. But, I will take your advice about the water dumbells. The pull buoy is a great idea!! I may give it a try in the next week as I get even more anxious to do some physical activity.
BAD- I love to hear positive stories like yours. My question to you is, were you able to be in a car or seated for periods of time right after your surgery? I realize you are a police officer and have a physical job, but were you able to get in a car go to work and be at a desk all day? Appreciate your answers, as I cannot take off that amount of time and my job is not a physical one.
First week of work almost completed. The Lyrica,, the last epidural, PT, stretching and NO working out seems to allow me to sit, albeit when I get up I am still in pain. But at least I can sit!? I just need to get rid of the transition (getting up from the seated position) pain.
Thanks again all for your comments...I love hearing from you all!
