Title: First anniversary
Post by: Dannywayoflife on November 10, 2012, 03:33:44 AM
Well today is my first anniversary! It's hard to believe that 52 weeks ago I was waking up in hospital after a major op! It has been a very long tough road thus far but in the last few months I've been really making leaps and bounds! Long may it continue!
Once again thanks to Pat as without this site I would not now be where I am!

Danny, so pleased to see you progressing and happy. You've had a tough road of it, but it's great that it's turning out well.

Congrats, and I assume all restrictions are off.

Thanks everyone! I celebrated yesterday by doing slightly too much in the gym(I'm progressively increasing my workouts) so I'm sore today  ::) but I'll ice and get back to the gym!  :)

Awesome Danny - congrats on your progress to date. It's been tough road, but you're fighting a good fight.
Best part is you can officially 'give it heaps' now.
Keep us posted.

Ha that's the plan kiwi! Got my check up with Mr T's team on Wednesday hoping they will tell me I'm clear to start letting loose!

Thanks buddy I'm pretty sure he'll cut the leash as @6months he looked at my xrays and said that my bone had healed to the stage he normally sees at 12 months. My only drama is my soft tissues still got scar tissue and some imbalances etc got a touch of bursitis again as I over did it over the weekend doing some judo uchi commi on the 6' bag ::)

So how's the hip holding up at work, Danny?  I know that was a major goal for you before you had it done.
Title: Re: First anniversary
Post by: Dannywayoflife on November 13, 2012, 01:26:45 PM
Day to day stuff its ok. I still couldn't sprint yet. But I'm able to walk a good distance and can look after myself still so there's still room to improve but I'm getting better!  :)

Awesome, congrats Danny.  I can't believe it's been a year.

I just sprinted a bunch last night in indoor soccer.  I'm pretty amazed at how well the hip is doing.  There are certainly times when I over do it, but nothing lasts more than a night's rest.  I recall a discussion we had on sprinting awhile back.  I thought I'd never run as fast as I used to after HR, but I think I'm pretty much back to where I was before.  You can do it, if you work on it. 

Good job.

I couldn't sprint at your time very well, either. It took a few more months for me, everyone is different.

I remember your first time working and how bummed you were about the limitations. Sounds like that's passing and you're almost fully back in the saddle again  ;D.

I'd say I'm still not 100% but I think I can get that back now. I remember feeling that I was soooooooo far frombeing normal at one point that I'd never get there again. I'm still not there yet but with the work im putting in I'm getting better. I still over do i and pay for it sometimes but hay whats new!? ;D

I recall you saying something about never thinking you'd ever get to this point, maybe at the 6 week mark or maybe 2 month mark.  Queue Jedi voice - "You've come a long way, young Danny, sprint you will, .....in due time,...once again, sprint you will"
