@Knitquilt We are thinking about picking up the train in the picturesque Banff/Lake Louise area. I don't have the info in front of me, but there are a few ways to do that route and over to Vancouver. I guess it depends on how much overall time you have and how much you want to spend on the train vs. in Vancouver itself.
The Tramacet is dispensed in 37.5 mgs here. It is to be given every four hours. I'm taking that dose most of the time now, but have the 75 before bed and first thing in the morning. The overall count for the Tylenol that is included in the Tramacet and then additional Tylenol add up to 4,000 mgs per day for me. I don't know when I'll be cleared for driving, but as it is my right hip that was replaced, it will probably be closer to six weeks than four, but I'll just go with the flow (ha ha I'll be climbing the walls I'm sure by four weeks!). I have no desire to even think about driving right now.
I told my husband that he could take me to Canadian tire on one day, Home Depot on another, and Wallmart for me to walk. He didn't think that was a good idea. He wants to take me to a nice mall where I call walk the walkways, and NOT go into any shops LOL!!!! Little does he know I'd get into more trouble at the nicer malls!! Maybe the grocery store is the way to go.
So glad your twitching and dry mouth have mostly gone now. I haven't experienced it again.
I think the walking outside on the slightly uneven ground for just a short period really was a bit of a set back. I have been walking more around the house, following the amount of time set for week two on the schedule of activities here. I noticed last night I had a bit of swelling, so iced a lot last night. I'm in the recliner with the ice machine on when I'm not getting up to walk, go to the loo, make myself a cup off tea etc. Next week I'll start cooking my own breakfast for a couple of days, then add lunch and then dinner gradually through the week and see what that does swelling wise. Such fine balance before the body says, enough! It is hard to believe that a few weeks ago I was walking so much on quite varied ground with all the horse related chores. On average it would be nine to ten thousand steps a day (albeit in pain, despite the Tylenol!). I feel like such a wimp now !!
