Life Goes On ...

Hello again!

I have been meaning to post for several days, but time just gets out from under me. Things are going well so far. I LOVE being home, and I am walking better already than I could for months before the surgery. I am dreaming of the day that I can ditch the walker for a cane, and then the cane for normal walking.

The pain has been modest, worse at night and after therapy. I have been able to control it with ice packs and ibuprofen. I slept in my own bed one night, then wimped again last night due to the pain. I am going to try it again tonight, because the leg muscles are finally strong enough to hold my foot upright again.

Kelly (my PT) came again this morning. She showed us several more exercises that will help strengthen my muscles as they heal.

My first post-op followup appointment is scheduled for Monday, May 7th. I'm not really looking forward to another trip to Nashville, but I am curious to hear what the doctor has to say and to ask her some questions about bone density and other things.

Other than that, life has been strangely (and serenely) ordinary. It's nice to live with a little less drama for a change.

Thanks for thinking of me!
