Hey!
@beachy ....
Sorry, got busy with family and friends. My son got married Friday and we went to the "after party" Saturday night. My first time out of the house since surgery! And saturday we had out of town friends come up for the afternoon.
Bill went back to work today, though he did go in for a few hours Saturday. So today is my first full day home alone with just the dog! I woke up at 7am, got to the bathroom, got a fresh drink and ice packs, let the dog out and settled back into the recliner for a nap! Got back up at 9:30. Bathroom, coffee, got dressed, played ball with the dog, set out meat to defrost, changed ice packs around, moved chairs and played on my tablet. Getting a snack now!
Biggest issue is still swelling. No amounts of ice, correct elevating techniques brings it down. Starting to think I'm stuck with it. Granted I'm probably doing too much as far as walking around, cooking, playing with the dog.
In home PT has been really good. No crazy exercises or forced movements. In fact the PT guy (i like the pt aassistant girl better) looked surprised by my walking and bend and said, "wow, you are doing your exercises". Ummmm, just the few I want to!
Today is the beginning of week 3! Lest see what it holds. I really want to sleep in my own bed, comfortably! Wednesday I have a Halloween party at my work! I love Halloween and always have a shift party for their break. I've called to cater meatball subs...and plan on crashing the party in an old lady costume! Walker, house dress, life alert necklace, grey bun wig, orthopaedic hose!
