September 26th 2023 – Hero Squats

Sept 26th

So the feeling of fullness and warmth, like blood flowing to these parts of my body is growing! My right glute and hip is truly feeling more than it ever has this past night! By even the slightest movement in my hips or left quad, I can feel it in my right hip and glute! But what is also interesting is that it actually doesn’t just feel like it’s there, it feels like it’s sore, like, it was hit….. it’s really interesting because it’s similar to the spicy feeling i have on my right side of the ribs, and it’s interesting to note that it’s also there on my right side! Yeah, it might be slight discomfort, but that’s new. That’s real. And I’m thankful for that!

The feelings in my feet and legs as well has changed, to be more pronounced too. The feeling in my abdomen, that produced the spasms has moved to only a slight tightness on my right side, and the other side does not experience that near as much.

I’m interested to know what feelings today will bring! I do notice that being up and doing things really does help. Like when we had gone out all day on Saturday, my legs were buzzing as much as some more intense days of physical therapy!!

Also, I had a dream about running on a big treadmill that I started at a very slow speed, that I wasn’t sure if I was doing the work or not till I saw it on my watch, and sure enough, I was moving!

ho-lee Shitttttt my legssss are buzzzzzinnn,

therapy and doing hero squats has my legs feeling wild right now! I’m pooped! Like, my muscles are actually activating and firing!! And I feel it!!!

I’m really actually pleased with the fact that my mindset is definitely shifting, where I will be in the future. As the pain from all of the accident is slowly subsiding, I feel like my mind is also realizing that things are truly coming back! Because, they are! My right glute is tight and sore from it all right now as I speak! I can legitimately “feel” how it is, like if you clenched your hand as tight as you could and just held it, that’s similar to how much my glute is squeezing! I do wish it would relax though.

I did have some good moments when I was rolling over, and it definitely is getting easier! I needed very little help this time to get that straightened out, and I’m glad for that.

Oh yeah, it was wild too! My sister got me Man’s Search for Meaning the SAME DAY Callie and I decided to read it??? That was so weird! Coincidence?? I think so! It was pretty cool having that happen!
