JE, it's great to hear that you've been able to resume most of your activities. I used to be the girl who could take both legs and fold them behind the head, which really played mind tricks on my younger sister's friends. (her friends were all A students, but not a segment of an athletic gene) Up until this past May, I was still able to do a full split in the pool, on the deep end. One leg up, the other straight down. Same when I switched legs. The top of the pool kept my heel from floating away, and it always stunned the life guards half my age. I no longer was able to do the straight across to actually touch the wall of the pool, but got close enough.
I'm hoping that with the rehab and being a swimmer, to have a smooth recovery. I'm going to trust my Dr, and my body. I'll have to remember that bending certain ways will have to change, and as far as crossing legs while sitting - I never did that. If you remember the movie "The Princess Diaries," Julie Andrews tells Ann Hathaway that a lady never crosses her legs. When seated, you bring them together and just gently take them to a side.
JE, you've given me more hope as did Francine who began this thread several years ago. Thank you so very much!
