Walking has been going really well and I am tolerating more and more each day. This increased mobility has been very liberating as I can do more things and feel so much more productive.
In physical therapy we are getting more aggressive with soft tissue mobilization. I go 3 times a week and go in early each visit to do some rounds on the weight machines, table straight leg lifts, and some self stretching before he starts in on the soft tissue mobilizations and manual stretching. Therapy has been more painful, but still not as painful as I was expecting. My pain is by far better than what it had been prior to the surgery, so despite how slow my progress seems to be going right now, everything is leaps and bounds better than what it was.
This week was a bit sad due to the 21st being the mark of what would have been Jacob's 21st birthday. For some reason his birthday is always the hardest day to deal with. I think it is because I often think of how old he would be and wonder what he would be like. I know he would have been an amazing young man, because he was such a brilliant and kind hearted little boy.
