Exactly one month ago, on July 10, I fell while out walking and gravely insulted my right hamstring.
The bruise I got from that fall succeeded in creeping out more people than most zombies do.
The bruise is completely gone now. I am almost back to normal. The leg still tires a little sooner than I'd like, and I am still going to Physical Therapy twice a week, but that may change soon. Each time I go, I am given more difficult exercises to do.
My walks are still not up to the length or the speed I want them to be. I walk about a mile and a half each day now, and I was doing four or five miles before I fell. I was also managing to maintain a quicker pace than I can right now. It's getting better, though. Saturday and today were both longer and faster walks than I've been able to do since the fall. I am also back to my free weight workouts four times a week, plus a few exercises added by my physical therapist.
I'll get there, it's just going to take awhile. I don't want to push it too hard and end up straining the muscle, or God forbid, falling again.
