1.) Have no idea if the right foot is improving anymore. It's still numb on the top of my foot and my big toe is partially numb. Still have some drop foot but I think it has improved.
3.) No change in the left foot, still numb. I think this is as good as this foot will ever get. Been like this for 5+ years except for the big toe being numb which is new since my surgery.
4.) Back still sore when I first get up in the morning. Adjusting of my sleep number to 50 has helped ease the pain a little in getting out of bed in the morning.
5.) SI Joints and hips are still acting up.
6.) Actually have been sleeping a little better this week.
Continued water PT on my own. Still walking 2 1/2 miles a day during the week and 5 on the weekend. Started land based PT this week. Got an award from my therapist for having the tightest hips he has ever encountered. He says that this is my biggest problem right now, so we're gonna work on loosening me up. Sure was in a lot of pain this afternoon from being loosened up.
I'm sure I improved a little this week but its barely noticeable. I get a little frustrated at times because I'm just not where I thought I'd be. I'm not complaining (maybe a little) cause I do understand that it takes a long time to heal. A friend of mine is going in for knee surgery and their recovery is supposed to be about 4 months. Completely recovered from major back surgery after 9 weeks is probably a little over optimistic.
