This is the view from my kingsized bed at Blue Lake Ranch where the yoga workshop was held. It was a wonderful vacation from hot humid VA. It was joyfull to be with all my yoga buddies.Three of us shared a wonderful casita.
I was fortunate enough to have a mentor in class. A woman teacher who had had both hips replaced. It was encouraging to see what she could do a year after surgery. Patricia was also kind in giving me a series of things to do to open my upper back, it tends to get stiff and especially from using a cane I get a bit bent over. So although I mostly did my own asana program I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
The pranayama in the afternoons was especially beneficial to me.
I was a bit worried about the rigors of airline travel and the long walks between gates but for once I played it smart and ordered wheel chairs to transport me between planes. It was definitely the way to go.
I have a date for the other hip to be done and at this point can hardly wait to be out of pain.
It will be Tuesday, Aug. 25th at 10:20am. This is the same time as my last surgery so hopefully that is auspicious.
I hope you will all keep me in your thoughts.
