I wonder if anyone can tell what the Dr. said yesterday?   He said pretty much what I had hoped for.

  • The leg looks good!
  • I DO NOT HAVE TO USE THAT WALKER
  • The brace stays but now it is unlocked so it moves with my leg and NOT at night.
  • I have a follow up appt in 6 weeks and at that time he will allow me to begin much more activity and probably throw the $700 brace in the gulf!.
  • He was a bit apprehensive about me not wearing the brace at night but I assured him it would be fine.  Of course I need to be careful but YES I will as there will be NO more hamstring injury.
I go in for PT at 7:45 this morning and will begin some exercises on the hamstring.  They say I need to learn to walk with a normal gait but I think I can already do that.  I told the Dr. that things would be fine as I am extremely athletic.  I don't think he believed me, I wonder why???  Maybe it is because I don't believe it either!
For Terry and I we have kind of a busy week.  Yesterday it was Dr. appts and neighbor John coming over for dinner.  Today I have PT and we need to do a Costco run.  Wednesday we have an away tennis match and then a meeting in the late afternoon.  Thursday we have our villa pool party.  Friday I have another PT and then on Saturday we host a 10 AM gathering for a tennis guy who will not be coming down here next year.  Instead he will spend time at Gulf Shores in Alabama which is much closer to his north home in Michigan.  I realize it does not sound like a whole lot but for a couple of people who really do not have much going on in their lives it is a packed week.
Actually one of the super things Dr. said yesterday is I most likely will be able to get on the tennis court by the first of May.  Granted it may be "take it easy" but just getting out would be wonderful.
FP is bottoms up and I am done.
