    #Bouldering vlogIt's not always a success, even if my videos make it seem so Spent half of the session today on this incredibly cool boulder. I'm puzzled for now: should I somehow get out of the heel hook that is blocking me from moving the body to the left? But how? The slopers are pretty bad, especially on this angle. Or just try harder?I'll hopefully figure it out next time. And now I have a pulled neck and holes in the skin from all the jumping and squeezing. #climbing #klettern

    Yay! During yesterday's PT session, we managed to bend my knee 90° for the first time since surgery. A small step towards #climbing again.Bonus perk: I can put on socks and shoes without tricks or assistance now .
