@hawk2go Glad I followed your advice about the Tylenol. I don't think I was ready to go cold turkey. This feels right for me.
Sutures taken out Monday. I kept saying to the nurses, I am so thrilled! And they'd say, Really? And I said, Yes! Each step forward is so good.
Summer in the city. Went out for a walk with cane with Rob up the street this morning (and we live on the sunny side, toasty even at 9:30am). He brought along a folding chair just in case. Didn't need it (yes!). Prospect Park, I see you in my near future. That said, I am taking it slow. I can walk around the apartment without my cane, hot dog. But I keep it at hand. Icarus, sun.
A friend gave me bananagrams to keep my mind preoccupied during recovery. Rob and I were playing in the bed last night and Angus jumped up and settled on Rob's tiles. Draw game; so glad the cat is adjusting.
Red yarn coming in the mail today. Knitting a scarf for a church charity project. I'm going to try to start some part-time work again in the next couple of weeks (work at home freelance right now) so nice to make use of this time doing stuff I enjoy. I have been reading, watching Netflix on my Kindle, doing Duolingo Spanish, knitting, audiobook, crossword puzzles, PT exercises, inside walking (keeping the last two fairly light, when I feel it getting stiff it's elevate and ice).
Rob's birthday today so we may order Mexican delivered, his call.
Next up, post-op appointment 8/9. I'm ready.
