Yeah, you read that right!! I got the clearance to go boarding and it was great!!! Last year, there's no way I could've handled the pain. This year the only pain I experienced was when I caught my front edge and went toppling down the hill very fast...suffering a little whiplash and wounded pride but the hip was tough as nails:) Let me be clear...all day on the black diamond, moguls a couple of JUMPS and a few FALLS...but NO pain.
It was a great feeling. I have turned a corner, no more PT and back to life as usual. Sometimes I actually have to remind myself I CAN do things...like carrying the laundry up the stairs. Really wishing I could ride that excuse a bit longer!! But seriously I went so many years unable to do things that I have these moments where I think to myself, "wait a minute, I CAN do that"!
Happy Healing,
Vanessa
