Ok I haven't used this in a while...labia jokes!

I did see the ortho, and the issue on my "good" side was a minor hamstring strain. So yes, I overdid it trying to recover. So I switched from GHR to romanian deadlifts, dropped the weight, and am trying to stupid just a little less.

I'm still doing my yogashit (tm) rehab exercises, and I'm kind of used to it. I. Look. Stupid. Well, until I go over and do tiny weights, then bigger weights, then respectable weights for a tiny little person. While I'm doing yogashit (tm) I get to watch people doing sit-ups on the GHR machine.

So...I forget I had surgery. I'm not 100% but I'm really close. My right hip is still not as flexible as the other, but it's close, and neither is really flexible.

Scars - I haven't really talked about them much. One is almost gone, and the other is much better. I can still make it hurt by really digging my finger in it...you MIGHT ask why I would do that, but I keep wanting to break the tissue down like a muscle and get it back to normal. For a scar it's nothing, but no scar would be better. I could lie and say I was stabbed, growing up poor like I did. We used to fight with knives before guns were so cheap. We'd throw bullets at one another because we couldn't afford guns.

But...yeah, totally worth it. I feel like most of my "rehab" issues are just getting back from the break from the gym. I'm bringing up my volume and with that my stamina, and lifting is starting to feel normal again. I think I'm getting better as going to nothing and starting over I found some major form flaws that I'm trying to correct now.

I read some horrific experiences about labral tear recovery and those people said it was worth it. My ride was cake by comparison. Why...that I don't know. I do know they used robots and my surgeon had done thousands before.

Good news, I had high hopes you wouldn't be one of the statistically unlucky ones. Yay for almost-recovery!

I have a permanent association between you and that word. I read something about "naso-labial angle" with regards to orthodontics and thought "vicar!"

That totally sounds like an oral sex reference (nasal-labia angle as related to g-spot costimulation with don't-cross-the-streams combination) and for that I thank you!
