L BHR with Mr Treacy

[hernanu]

Happy for you, Danny. Really coming into the home stretch there. Totally deserve it, no MMA challenge bucks up to what you've done so far.

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks Hern,
                   Mentally your right this has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through.
I just hope that this lasts me the rest of my days and I never have to go through this again!

Hi Danny,

Mentally your right this has been the hardest thing I've ever gone through.  I just hope that this lasts me the rest of my days and I never have to go through this again! - Danny

As this is my second hardest thing I've ever been through, i'm seeing the way you write through my own lens and experiences, and your temperament, perserverance, strength, and general stamina leads me to believe you can make it through anything life may or may not throw at you later.

You're gonna be good, IMHO.

Two4 thanks for those kind words. I have drawn great resolve from the stories of success on this site over the last 2 years and it has helped a great deal!

[Dannywayoflife]

Well today is now 18 weeks since i went under the knife. And thus far i think im doing pretty well.
I am able to walk pretty long distences without any real issues. I have had the odd issue like yesterday i was getting some stabby and sharp pain around the hip but i decided that it wasnt anything major as it was accompanied by some lower back spasams.
I think ive been slacking off my leg strengthening a little too much but due to the ridiculas hours ive been working i have not had the time!

[hernanu]

You do what you can, Danny - it straightens out in the end, you're cognizant of it and will do it when possible.

I also had strange twinges later on, one in particular that lasted about a week (was getting me nervous) which just went away. I think it was scar tissue letting go, but that's my unqualified opinion, just never saw it again after that.

Four and a half months? It seems like yesterday you were having the surgery!

[Dannywayoflife]

Yeah it's flown by! I'm doing a lot of walking at work but I'd like to be doing more rehab stuff. But I'm doing another 100hr week this week so any down time is taken up by sleep!
I'm really looking forward to been able to train again in like 7.5 months time!

[hernanu]

You'll get there, Danny. I've pulled those hours (once for a three month stretch), so I know you just try to survive those. Just focus on nutrition and sleep.

[Dannywayoflife]

The long hours suck but have to be done! Hopefully I'll be able to finish the second job soon!

[Aerial]

Wow, 100 hour week, that would kill me!  Hope you get paid good overtime!

[mslendzion]

Hi Danny.  Feeling for you and your long weeks.  I hope you get to recover on your off time and have some fun, you deserve it for sure!

Hi Danny.  Feeling for you and your long weeks.  I hope you get to recover on your off time and have some fun, you deserve it for sure!

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I don't get paid overtime just an hourly rate but inreally need the money right now as the extended period off work after surgery and a clerical error by my main employer meaning my Money was wrong for 8 weeks has really wrecked my finances! But if I keep this up till the end of April then I'll be back on top and can start to enjoy my 4 on 4 off shift pattern again!

[Two4One]

You are very strong.  Good luck in the upcoming long work weeks!

2-4

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks 2-4. It's one of my character floors I work too hard I've always been the same. But as soon as I am financially stable again I'll be working to live and not living to work! 

[Dannywayoflife]

19 weeks today think recovery has slowed down now. Still got some niggles to get rid of but things are better than they are worse. I managed to walk about 3.5 miles the other day over rough farm ground and was fine. Paid for it slightly after but that was the first time I've been able to do that since 2010

[hernanu]

Good stuff, Danny. The recovery is still happening, but like you saw, only becomes obvious as you do more strenuous things. Great to hear that you're doing things you'd laid aside.

[Spanielsal]

Hi Danny, 3.5miles.... in awe... at 19 weeks....  Blimey, doing well! Sal

[Dannywayoflife]

Thanks guys,
                  The one thing that's bugging me is my ROM in the box splits movement I get a pain as soon as my legs are much more than shoulder width apart which feels like my femur knocking into my cup. I hope that improves with time!

[mslendzion]

Me too Danny.  I'm hoping it goes away but it feels wrong doesn't it?

[Arrojo]

Sorry I am a latecomer, Danny, but am very happy for you.
