The tortoise

Continuing a slow but steady improvement.  My PT assures me its better to be the tortoise now than the hare.  Seem to have little spikes of improvement the day after a pool session.  Now primarily just using the cane unless I really overdue it during the day.  Still not much endurance, but strength coming along nicely.  ROM improving a couple cm a week right now.  Have just a little more dorsi, first thing in the morning, than pre-procedure.  A little less by evening because things are stiff and swollen.  Starting to get out and run errands on my own a bit more.  Walked across a grass lawn today at the library's summer reading program finale picnic.  Very tough, just that bit of uneven ground, but I did it.  Paying for it tonight, but I did it.  And still doing everything w/o a brace.  So that in itself is an improvement.  Think I'm going to tackle a return to yoga next week, since I can get off the floor now without having to do the dying cockroach roll onto the couch.
