Sylvia,
What a cute picture of you!!! You do look like you are all set up there! Well, I won't scold you as that's been done, just say that I'm glad you are taking it easy! I didn't do much the first couple weeks other than shower, eat my meals, and do my pt exercises. Other than that it was pretty much just rest, elevate, ice, and watch movies on the computer! :D
It is kind of frustrating to be so limited, I know....and my husband is SOO not the domestic type. It was actually easier the second time around, he wasn't around as much and the boys were able to cope better I think and there was less drama. (don't tell him I said that, LOL)
It's early days yet and I'd say you should expect to be tired for awhile. It will gradually lessen of course but even after I was up and around for weeks, a bit day would totally wipe my out - and I don't have the fibro to contend with.
So sorry to hear that things did not go the smoothest for you in the hospital - but the good news is that is all behind you now and hopefully things will just get better and better. As you heal and start to feel better I'm sure you'll love how it is not to have that hip hurting you.
Take care and keep us posted as you feel up to it.
:gphg:
