It’s that time of year where life just seems to pick up steam, if you know what I mean. It’s prom season, the weather is improving…sometimes…and the end of the school year is imminent. It’s also back-to-work time for me, as my medical leave is nearing its end. But first? You guessed it. Let’s open up the Runfession Friday Linkup.
Runfession Friday: Back to Work Edition
After a winter that seemed like it’d hang around forever, we had some REALLY nice (and some horrendous, stormy) days in April. While the last frost date here in the Northern Chicago ‘burbs isn’t until May 10, I runfess I started dragging out my garden stuff. I thought about doing some planting but I know better than to tempt Mother Nature that way.
I’m at the 3 month post-op point with my bionic hip. So many people are asking when I’ll start running again. I runfess it’s gotten a little annoying. While I am cleared to do many things, it takes a full year for the bone to grow completely into the implant. Rest assured I will not be running anytime soon and that’s fine with me. The last thing I want is to make the implant loosen or need a revision. No thank you.
I’m thrilled to tell you that we finally put a summer vacation on the calendar. While I won’t tell you exactly where we’re heading, I will tell you that there is “canyoneering” involved. While I’m usually the first one in line when it comes to adventure, I runfess I’m not quite sure what to think about this yet.
Wow, three months!!! That’s amazing, and quite a milestone in your recovery journey. I’m excited to get some flowers going outside as well, but who knows when Momma N is gonna wave her “wand of weather doom” again?
