Last Friday was the second session with my therapist. I was expecting a rehash of my first visit, possibly testing the hip to see if there was any improvement after a week of work.

Wrong.

After the 20 minutes of electrocuting my unmentionable areas, I had to go through a full excercise workout under scrutiny of staff. Then they added several things including 2 exercises that are killers, and adding a session on one of the peices of equipment that is available at the Y. I left there exhausted, so much that my therapist suggested I cancel my water workout later that day.

 was pretty sore on Saturday and struggled through my routine at home. I also maxed out the number of pain meds I'm alotted. the first day I've done that.

Then came my surprise. I woke up Sunday feeling good. No pain. I was even able to walk around the house some without my cane. During the afternoon, I got some much needed work done on my equipment getting ready for this weekend. (Actually the first work I've done all week). I went through a full workout. And still felt good when I went to bed Sunday night. It was a very encouraging day.

Sometime during the night, I was hit with a sharp pain, strong enough to get up and take a pill. No, foks, Peggy wasn't there. I wasn't sleeping with the dogs. Nor was I visited by a 250 lb. hooker. I must have turned over wrong, or didn't have a pillow between my knees, or something. By morning, I felt OK again and my water session today went without a hitch. I'm tired, but not overly sore.

Back to work this weekend with both JMU and Liberty football games. I'm bringing Justin and Nigel down to Liberty to add hawking lemonade. So I'm looking for a really good outcome. JMU also has their homecoming against Richmond so it, too, should be a good game.

A report will follow.
