Great news I am now back on schedule for recovery. My appointment today with Dr Hu went extremely well and I was able to go for my first physiotherapy session with Marco. I worked out with Marco on the treadmill and bike and did some stretching exercises on the stability ball. In total I worked out for about an hour. A little sore after that but it felt great to be able to start exercising again.
It just shows that a couple of weeks down in Palm Desert can be a big help. The first day January 12th when Sandi and I got to the desert I was only able to walk for about 10 minutes however after about a week I was walking twice a day for 30 minutes. What a difference being able to get outside in the nice sunny weather where it was in the 80 degree range everyday. The only real frustrating part of being down in Palm Desert was having to sit on the deck and watch other people golf and me not being able to play. It was nice though when a number of my golf buddies would stop and see how I was doing.
Sandi and I have already booked our return flight to Palm Desert for February 16th. In the meantime I have two weeks of intense physio with Marco. During this time he will be developing a workout plan for me to take down to Palm Desert. As things progress I will be in Email contact with him to let him know how I am doing. I am hopeful that my recovery continues at the same pace as the past two weeks.
The next appointment with Dr Hu is scheduled for April 20th.

Looks like things are improving Kurt. Take things slowly - you have many years of golfing ahead of you with a well-recovered back.
