First time on a treadmill since hip surgery. Just some walk at incline but it’s a start.

Back at work today and have been up since 4:30 (thanks jet lag). Haven’t signed on in 2 weeks - what could go wrong?? 😑
Last night of the cruise. Been a great week aboard but now the suitcases are in the hall - cruise equivalent of ‘Sunday Scaries’…
Spent a few hours exploring Messina, Sicily this morning. Warm one for sure but I can legit do: “Picture it, Sicily 2026…”
Great day off of Santorini - took an “on ship” day for some quiet and relaxation.
Proof that I did get to the gym on the cruise to do some rehab stuff.
Got the steps in today around Piraeus. Was a good break from the Athens heat to be down by the water.
It was “only” 31°C here today, slowly starting to acclimate… Was going to post a selfie but it’s a bit obvious I was overheating.
Vacation is a good. After a long travel day, safely in Athens.
You know it’s going to be a long day at work when you can’t motivate yourself to finish your coffee, shower and get out the door…

Hip rehab is going slowly but making some progress. Weight going up and tightness getting better. Hopefully by September I can get back to light jogging.
Four rounds of thunderstorms has been more than enough for this Canada Day… I guess back to work tomorrow.
Checked in for our cruise next month 🚢. Bring on the sun and - who am I kidding - the time off work.
Sunday scaries coming in strong before 9am… At least Wednesday will be a day off (🇨🇦-day).
So many June birthdays on here - my turn today. Wish I wasn’t working but got a massive ice coffee and kept the tradition of birthday cake for breakfast alive!
Shaping up to be a rough week (mainly work) - i keep wondering if it was a full moon rather than the solstice?!
At the gym to do the hip / leg exercises my physio gave me and suddenly everyone is doing leg day? NOBODY at this gym ever does legs (just look around!)… 😤
Good to be able to get back in the gym but not even sure when i will be able to get back on the weights. Just looking longingly from the exercise bike for the next while.
Have had a particularly unproductive day today. I know I’m on leave to recover but didn’t even mange to get out of bed except for lunch and more coffee. No particular reason - just couldn’t be bothered… 😕 Forced myself down the road for a Starbucks just to get outside.
Got told to move up my physio by a week in my surgery follow up today. I guess time to get to work.
Recovery milestone today… staples came out of both hips. Two more weeks until I can start physiotherapy… On one hand, double hip resurfacing has been a “lot”, but also not sure I would want to do this twice in a row…
Ice / compression / rest. Hoping the walking starts to get better this week.
Another exciting morning planned. The ice / compression is helping however slowly.
