Saw the surgeon for the 4 1/2 week visit yesterday. He
was impressed at how much movement I have and my
agility. Also liked the look of the scar [thank you
Vit. E].
I asked him about dancing and saw his shoulders slump.
So I said "tell me what you would tell all your
patients". 3 months. sigh....   So three months it is.
Feb. 4 but who is counting. Called upstairs to John
yesterday - Jan 28, right and he said 'no'. You are
shorting yourself one week. pout.
Doctor explained what inside scar looks like and the
place where the muscles were cut. Medial side. Said the
muscles healing properly will take the three months.
Since that is the only place that hurts off and on now
and still wakes me in the middle of the night, I know
that waiting will be the absolute best thing to do.
Don't want to have to go through any of this again
anytime soon.
I did get permission to return to the gym for weights
and to the pool for walking. I said swimming to him
first and then said -- nope I don't swim, I just put on
a waist belt and march around shallow to deep and back
again. Got up this morning with good intentions but the
wind and cold shoved me back. Wind is gusting to 21 mph
at times and sounds like a freight train. I am a wimp.
Hoping this lack of desire will pass.
I think I might try sleeping upstairs tonight. I really
miss my Select Comfort bed. I practiced getting up off
that low toilet this morning and managed so I believe I
will make John give up the entire Queen and make room
for his roommate.
