Been a minute since I’ve checked in here. It turns out, I have a full time job. It’s really nice to be back at work and not doing rehab as a full time job. (On myself, that is!) However, it means that I don’t have a lot of time to do my own hip rehab. Long plans of exercises for me? I wish!

However, I am not making quite as much progress with certain exercises as I would like. Today I had the day off, and had to stand around and wait for an oil change. I did whatever standing exercises I could (and was reminded that I hadn’t done some of them in a minute!) and that was my rehab for the day.
