All you described sounds right for 4 weeks. Your attitude is great.
I really struggled with my attitude. I went into this thinking I knew enough, it never occurred to me that I not only didn’t know enough, but that I actually knew very little to nothing, about what to expect from recovery. My pre op reading about partials was, unfortunately, on Orthopaedic websites promoting the quick recovery from a partial.
To say the reality was a shock is an understatement. I felt like such a failure. It will be 2 years next month. I have not yet “recovered” though I no longer feel like a failure. Something went wrong somewhere and I’ve accepted that it’s not my fault. Even with my limitations, (that I did not have before surgery), I’m much improved since that 4 week mark.
Best wishes as you continue to heal. I love reading your updates and supportive posts to others.
