Well we have been home for a week now and I am getting into a routine.
I have been walking a mile each day now. It really takes a lot out of me to do it but I can see myself getting stronger everyday. I still am pretty uncomfortable sitting but I’m sure with exercise that will get better. I also still have to take the pain medication that they have me on. I have cut the dosage down but still can not go with out it. I don’t like being on it. It really makes me feel irritable.
The surgeon did not want me to do any physical therapy until I see him in two more weeks. Normally I would have already been doing therapy for a few weeks now but with the problems I was having after surgery he wanted me to just take it easy and just walk everyday. So I don’t know how that will effect my return to work. I have to talk to him about that and see what the plan of attack is.
The diet is still going good. I’ve not dropped anymore weight but I have maintained. I weigh in on Friday so we will see if there is any loss this week.
Wow, that is excellent that you are able to walk a mile each day already! Also, kudos on maintaining. I am sure it really difficult to keep everything going when there is alot in your life happening.
