Hawaii Continued

Well its been 10 days since my accident, and a hellish 10 days it has been. That being said, I have to thank everyone for their patience and assistance with everything. Everyone has been soo gracious and helpfull i can't even begin to tell you how much it has meant. To say this accident has rocked my world is a mild understatement.

And getting around on crutches while on vacation has proven to be more difficult than i ever imagined. I tried to do as much as I could so that I wasn't holding everyone back or causing them to miss things on my behalf. I know that plans were altered to accomodate me, and I want to thank everyone for that, and for not making me feel like i was in the way. and I am glad to say that things have gotten better each day. I am now able to get down stairs on the crutches, get dressed on my own, and even shower without assistance. baby steps, baby steps, .... its amazing how much you appreciate the little things after something like this.

Things have not been all bad. I am happy to report that the snapping pain in my hip has gradually continued to improve, and now only really snaps when I try a straight leg raise (which i still can't do. not really sure how all these old people manage to do it at work !?!?!) I have also officially started my rehab program even before leaving hawaii. While there i used the stationary bike in the workout room at the condo complex and managed to get on the stationary bike for 40 minutes (on the lowest setting). I was also able to get in the pool to do some AROM exercises with gravity eliminated.
