Surgical Recovery

Seems to be going well.  I took a week of from work, and twitter.  I was tired, sore, uncomfortable.  I did work a little from home since I couldn't go into the office, but it was difficult to do my job while on narcotic pain killers.

I had my follow-up visit with the surgeon yesterday, who said I'm recovering nicely.  He's prescribed physical therapy, and as far as I know, I'll be going once a week (for now, anyway until they see what I need - I guess?).  The surgeon recommended low impact water aerobics and therapy.

I'm still using a crutch - but only because I don't trust myself not to fall on my face.  I can get around at home without it, but anywhere else I use it.  May go to a cane, depending on how therapy goes. 

OK well there's the whistle, time to head home and fix dinner.

We are having a potluck at work for my birthday (it's tomorrow), all you can eat appetizers.  I'm making my famous meatballs that makes Belinda think she's in heaven.  OH, and my famous spinach and artichoke dip too.
