Well ok I can't turn cartwheels, but my physio thinks I'm improved enough to go down to one crutch. I can even walk a little way without crutches!
I've been given a new set of strengthening exercises.
She asked me to do a standing squat over a dining chair, and I was dismayed at how hard it was to get back up and vertical again! Gave her a laugh though ๐
All together now, "Use your core!!!"
"I'm tryyyiiiinnnggg!!!"๐คฃ๐คฃ
Happy running, everyone ๐

Hello grumpyoldgirl, Glad to hear that progress is being made. ๐ It is odd isn't it not knowing what you can do when. I remember when I asked the GP when I had a fractured pelvis, 'How will I know when I can walk?' He just said, 'You'll just know!' And he was right, I did just find my leg doing things! My mind is boggling about doing a standing squat over a dining chair. ๐ค
Well done GOG - Iโm glad your physio hasnโt added cartwheels to your new set of exercises! Iโm sure theyโll do the trick and have you back out there soon!
