Week 4 - Ready For More

[Guest guest]

Well its been four weeks since my operation and the following are

the highlights of this week:

1) Weight is still down 15 pounds;

2) Pain and stiffness has decreased in the thigh area (note: I still

have pain and stiffness around the knee?);

3) I have cut way back on pain killers ... I've taken 1 pain killer

in the last 48 hours;

4) I'm walking 1/2 mile on crutches around the neighborhood every

afternoon.

5) I'm walking in the house with a cane;

6) I'm walking in the bathroom with no aids.

7) I have my (6 week) doctors appointment on Monday even though it

will only be 4.5 weeks and hope to be set free because I'm dying to

go back to work (computer programmer) ... daytime TV is boring and

has everybody doing everybody else. I'm ready to be told to stop

babying it (my hip) and start trying to walk normal.

8) Feeling very blessed and realize that I still have along road

ahead of me.
