I had a wild weekend. It was my five month LBHR anniversary on Saturday (YAHOO!), but it was a year ago I resigned from search and rescue (kind of sad). So I had a lot to prove. I successfully climbed a 5.10 and snowshoed two days in a row so was exhausted by Sunday night but no significant pain. So from a hip standpoint, I’ve come a long way in five months but I realized I have a ways to go to get to SAR shape again â€" mostly muscle stamina. Attached are pics of easier climbs (my belayer was also the photographer and I wanted all hands on the rope for the 5.10). It is so hard for me to know how far to push my hip which is why I monitor Eric and a few others that I feel push harder. I have to get strong before my RBHR in the Fall or early next year. I do have a big smile when I realize how much pain I had when I resigned last year and the fact that I’m pain free this year!
That is awesome. Great job in your rehab.
Keep up the great rehabbing, you give/gave hope to many future hippies.
