Made it through my first week back to work part time. I worked from the comfort of my home which was nice. Follow up with PA on Monday. Hoping I will get the okay to take a bath? Not sure when that happens but it’s freezing here in Omaha, NE and that’s all I want to do. And I will find out...- brookeo

Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery! Not going to lie - it felt like two months! But things have gotten remarkably better within the last week. So much so I don’t want to jinx anything!

Transitioned to the cane around the house. Just managed to fold and put away a load of laundry. Also got off my pain meds - just Tylenol so far today and doing fine so far. Little emotional - starting to get some cabin fever. Trying to remind myself I am only 8 days out. I think I’ll ask my...- brookeo
