Today I decided that I was better off going through the book of excersizes that the hospital gave me rather than go to the physio who reduced the number of excersizes and eliminated the pressure to bend as much as possible and stretch as straight as possible. I think I am accomplishing much more on my own and have the St. John's Rehab appt. in one week where I know I will get a good work out.
I started off the day with a hot breakfast, for a change of egg and toast, took my meds and got ready for a good work out. That as usual knocked me out and by 1:00 p.m. I was sleeping like a baby until about 4:00 p.m. with various phone call interuptions.
My doctor finally called me and we reviewed all the necessary medications and appt. required in the next little while. Chris picked up the medication at the pharmacy and got ready for his conference in Niagara so I am on my own tonight with, of course, the company of my two furry friends. Jess is coming for a sleep over tomorrow and will escort me to the hair dresser and do some shopping in preparation for a Father's Day BBQ on Sunday.
I am feeling very frustratred with my left leg as it is quite stiff and achey compared to the right one. I expected that the excersizes would loosen up the stiffness and that I would be seeing more improvement day to day. After I do the excersize and then sleep I wake up with totally sore and hot legs with numbness in my feet. I really hope that this passes soon. I am having a very hard time doing more than one good workout per day. The second one is usually lame and I rarely get to the third. Hopefully this will ease up soon.
Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since my surgery and I honestly do not feel much better than I did after two weeks. Let's hope I see more improvement soon.
Until tomorrow.
Marilyn
