Recovery: week 2
I apologize deeply for my lack of posts, between an increasingly busy work schedule and my “get well soon” gift to myself (a shiny new …. er old … bass) I haven’t had a lot of free time online.
I walk freely now with now pain, but still get pretty stiff at work. I’m a software engineer by trade so that means lots of long hours at a desk (taxing!). Per doctor’s orders I haven’t really been working on increasing my range of motion, i seemed to get 0-90 degrees pretty quickly and apparently there’s no hurry to go further than that. I’ve been doing my leg lifts daily and am looking forward to getting in to PT.
I have my second post op visit on Thursday and my first PT next Tuesday.
I’m growing rather weary of my brace and have been making more of an effort to loosen it when I’m sitting still. The garbage bag - half shower thing is also getting really old, but so it goes.
In any case i feel I’m still well on the road to recovery and am looking forward to getting back on the bike, the skis and the trails of the beautiful state of Washington.
Last note: Amazon fresh is a life saver for me. I hate going to the grocery store as it is and when it’s uncomfortable to stand or walk it’s much, much worse. Having fresh produce and other groceries delivered while i’m sleeping a couple times a week makes the world a much better (and healthier!) place.
