Pam, you are looking good, lady! Everybody is doing great... sorry about Miss Jane! MJ, you are a real inspiration to me.
My pictures/measurements don't show much of a difference. But I'm doing so much better than I was six months ago that I am happy.
Lots more improvement in my ability to hold planks, etc. I rarely have painful "pops" anymore. And to think that PT told me I'd always have a hypermobile back! Maybe I will, but if I keep my core muscles strong, it won't matter.
I'm building up my pushup strength again, and working on loosening the hip flexors and increasing flexibility in ankles so I can do squats with proper form.
And I had a CT scan which showed that there IS something amiss in my hip: two bone spurs in the right hip socket, rubbing against the hip joint. On the scan they look HUGE! Like two fingers!
I asked the radiologist how come those ostephytes didn't show up on the MRI or the x-rays; she just said CT scans are better. Ewkay. Whatever! Don't care... just glad I got something I can take back to the sports medicine doctor.

And goodness... you'd think I could've cleaned up that bench before I took the photos!
