How is everyone today?

Well I'm up and about. Surgery was Thursday and was successful according to the surgeon. So far the hip and leg pain are gone but boy the surgical pain is awful. I'm trying to keep on top of the meds. I don't like to take narcotics but I feel so much better if I do. Hopefully I'll only need them a few more days. The hospital and staff were great. It is a small orthopedic hospital here in Indy. I stayed on night so got home Friday afternoon after a second PT session. I'm walking around without the walker now. I've also borrowed a recirculating ice machine from a friend. That is making a huge difference. The ice packs just weren't covering enough area. I've slept ok considering I need to stay on my back. That is my idea. The PA said I could sleep in any position. I'm normally a side sleeper but that isn't very comfortable long term. I do nod off a lot during the day. H has been great keeping track of my medication and getting stuff for me. I'm not suppose to bend much or twist at all. You just don't realize how much you do those moves until you can't!

I think I've caught up on last week's posts. Good luck with the job stuff @CharmedPam and @VarunaTT. I know it is very stressful. Good luck with the house stuff @Casadena. I know you will be glad when is all done. I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend, @ei34. I'm sure the family appreciates everything that you and your group are doing.

Glad that the surgery is behind you @ILoveBeachMusic and I hope PT goes okay.  

Back to the grind today.  We're down to the final countdown - six weeks to Memorial Day weekend and only eleven until summer vacation, woohoo.

Most evenings this week should be kind of busy, but today is thankfully pretty light.

Healing vibes for a quick recovery! @ILoveBeachMusic

Back at work today. Weekend was okay. We went out to an Art Show on Saturday and then wandered around town getting apps and drinks. Sunday we were pretty tired and we just slept in and watched movies since it was a rainy cold day. It’s still sprinkling a little bit. Otherwise SSDD here.

Glad you’re up and moving @ILoveBeachMusic

i’m gaining weight like woah. I don’t know the exact numbers because I don’t want to step on the scale. I’ll do anything to lose weight. But diet and exercise. 

But I’m going to eliminate carbs again. I think that’s step 1. However, we went to amish country on Saturday and their bread at the bakery is sooooo delicious. So after that. Haha. 

I had my appt for laser hair removal but they canceled. Again. They always do it the DAY of. Tell me before I shave. So now my evening is free. Maybe i’ll catch a movie.
