On the road to recovery

Monday, Jan 24

So I am still not sleeping through the night.  I have to wear the compression stockings and they are very uncomfortable.  I might change and wear them during the day and not at night.  They are kinda scratchy and ittitate the wound.  Now I have exercises the physical therapist gave me, the CMP machine to use, the ice machine to keep the swelling down, and the cane and walker to use.  That is a lot of equipment to have hanging around.  I also bet my electric bill will be going up this month. 

My parents came over to visit last night and brought pizza for dinner, with them.  I haven't had pizza in a long time.  I had the Canadian Bacon and pineapple and they also brought a peperoni and sausage.  It used up my points for the day but was worth it. 

My recovery is right on track, if not a little early.  I am getting tired of sitting down all day and my bottom is getting sore.  That will slowly change as I spend more time upright and walking around.  The CPM machine wants you to use it 6-12 hours a day.  It is really boring.  I try to sleep while doing that. 

So this was just to let everyone know I am doing fine.  Have a good day
