This week I also go to say GOODBYE to the awful but necessary TED Stockings, This will not be missed that's for sure. No more flaky skin and dry skin due to these, I can now Moisturize them to my hearts content. Not only was this happening this week but so was my First Hydro Session too.
First Session comprised of Walking in the Pool Forwards x2, then Backwards x2, Sidewards x2. Then Hip Felxion (Bend Knee and Lift, Hip Abduction (Straight Leg Sideways) and Hip Extension (Straight Leg Behind You). Some Deep Squats all x10 reps. Then came the more difficult Steps, using a Block to Step onto using Bad (Operated Leg as the Leading leg) up and down for x20 reps. By now it's smarting a little painwise and I know I'm going to be feeling it later and Tomorrow. But my session was not finished yet, no no no. Next up was the Comical Flipper Walking, Hilarious Yes but Man it's soooooo Hard. Definitely got every muscle and joint working, Had to go up and down the Pool length Twice. Then for a more relaxing exercise? Where it's looks more relaxing, you Lie Down on this Slanted Bed Thingie, and it was time for a Weighted Ring round the Operated Leg to give more resistance too, Leg Raises and Leg Abductions (Out to the Side) with the New Resistance on. This is a full on Programme, Felt at the time that I could of done more, But honestly once I had got out of the pool and re-dressed I was exhausted and thankful that I hadn't done more.
Bet you can guess how I spent all on the next day can't you?
And as I write this, I'm getting myself ready for Tomorrow's Hydro Session. Catch you all laters and Happy Hippie Healing xx
