I was able to start toddling outdoors with my walker after one week since I only had 1 step. Just very tiny walks at first and so slowly! I felt rather embarrassed to be using a walker! My neighbors are used to seeing me out walking fast and now I was hobbling on a walker!Nice - PT today says now I can go down my front steps & up and down the block for a (walker) ‘stroll’, if my wife is around to supervise! Time to get outside!!!
I remember the wonderful feeling of that first attempt at sleeping on my side... it was about 2 weeks as well. Finally was able to start sleeping better. Hated attempting to sleep on my back. Could never get more than 2 hours at a time.Day 16…
Tried sleeping on my side a little last night with a pillow between knees. Felt ok for short periods but seems a ways off from sleeping normally (for me) that way all night. Still, it’s encouraging that there wasn’t too much discomfort in the op/incision area.
