It's been a week today since I went under the knife. It seems like much longer than a week, and also much shorter.
And the consensus one week out? This was totally worth it.
I'm still sore. Still using crutches to walk, and still having difficulty getting out of bed.
But even in recovery, I have a greater range of motion in my hip than I did before. And the better I feel, but more upbeat I am about my future and the things I'll be able to do when I'm fully recovered.
I had one of my "down" days today. I woke up sore and slept most of my day away. I'm starting to see this is as a normal cycle. A few days of win, and then a day where my body has to play catch-up for all the advances I've been making. I still did my physical therapy today, but that's about it.
The home health nurse came again today to take my blood levels. I've reached my goal number for the blood thinners, so my dosage has been adjusted again for the weekend.
My hope is that tomorrow will be a good day, after all the lounging I did today. Tomorrow is the Scottish Festival down at Thanksgiving Point. It's where we got my engagement ring last year, and we need to look for wedding rings. Also, its an event I can attend while sitting the entire time, which hopefully won't be too much for me to handle.
