7-mo post-PAO & 1-mo post-screw removal

my hip gets tired while walking around.  i don't see why this should be this case since the screw removal didn't bother anything inside...unless the bone itself is tired. i've replaced most of my steristrips after 1mo. the scar looks good.  i feel a little tenderness around the incision area. possibly bone holes where the screws came out.  the area where i fractured my butt bone continues to be sensitive still while sitting.  while i may be clinically healed (i.e. the bone is grown in per x-rays), i probably won't feel 100% until a year. same with the hip.

at least with crutches, i was still getting daily upper body exercise.  while waiting for my screw-removal incision to heal, i really didn't do much.  i started doing light exercises 3wks post-screws, trying not to stretch out incision.  pushups, shoulder raises, lats, rows, planks, crunches.  squatting feels weird perhaps from being tight.  lunges are ok.  full-range situps and leg raises for abs still don't feel good.  went boxing for the first time again 1mo-post screws.  cardio/endurance is way down but hip held up fine.  hip actually felt no pain jumping rope on one leg, so that's an improvement from a month ago.  my boxing trainer (one i haven't seen since pre-PAO) said i looked fatter.  on my way home, my UPS guy said it looked like i was limping. so, i'm fat and limping.

i'm back with my old trainer!  hurray. his workouts cause me more fear than getting PAO.  we're working on rings again, kettlebells, bodyweight stuff.  i'm very sad that i can only manage 3 pull-ups now. technically chin-ups cuz i have to do them underhand grip for now. i was regularly doing 5x5 in early april and regained my personal best of 7 pullups (overhand) in mid-Feb.  my trainer suggested i'm having a hard time with pull-ups too b/c of my weight gain (probably about 8-10lb). all my other strength doesn't seem to have diminished that much. we did trap deadlifts 65lb 5x3.  trap deadlifts use quads more than the hip but i'm still squatting very cautiously cuz i feels things shifting and clicking. my trainer also noticed my lordotic curve looks straighter than before, perhaps my hip is still tight in front.  also started golfing again regularly.
