Hello and a Happy Tuesday to you
Awesome @brookeo that you've transferred to a cane already in the house. That's wonderful progress! Off pain meds too and comfortable enough with Tylenol is an accomplishment also.
Post Op Blues happens, check out the article in the Recovery Guidelines if you haven't had an opportunity to yet. http://bonesmart.org/forum/threads/post-op-blues-is-a-reality-be-prepared-for-it.7591/
Thankfully it's usually fleeting. You probably do have a bit of cabin fever as Recovery does get boring. I think your idea of having hubs take you for a drive is an excellent one. Staying sensibly busy or keeping your mind occupied as a distraction seems to help for sure.
You're doing great, keep it up and stay in touch!
