I've been going three times a week, I can really feel myself get better. I've moved on to v2 of my at-home exercises, so I must be getting stronger.
I also notice that my flexibility is much better. I was able to almost do a split in the water today. I can bend my knees to my chest now too. When I get re-evaluated, I'm sure that will be a huge improvement.
I'm still walking with my cane. It definitely helps my gait when I use it. Yesterday I walked and did some light cleaning in the garage without it all day. And I hurt afterwards. I notice that my gait suddenly got sloppy too. I started walking with that hip-hop 'hitch' as my hip starting dropping. I've been consciously making sure that doesn't happen, but walking without the cane just tires those muscles out.
Today in the pool I got a new therapist since my usual one was out sick. It was a guy, which was cool; someone new to talk to. But, when it came time for the 'manipulation' of the scar to help break up the scar tissue, I was like 'no thanks'. I'll wait for one of the others to touch me there :)
