One Week Post-Op

Here we are one week later... Well. A week and a day. But who's counting?? ;) So far, so good. I can't complain too much. I've been riding on the stationary cycle since post-op day 1. I'm up to 30 minutes. I've been walking around without my crutches, and have been for several days. My post-op pain has pretty much been non-existent. I've been taking the toradol and the ibuprofen per Dr. Sampson's post-op protocol, but I haven't had to take any REAL pain meds (narcotics) since post-op day 1!

Yesterday I got my sutures out, everything looks pretty good. Then I even went and did some errands with my mom, but without the kids. It was a lot of time out and about and it wasn't really that bad! Dr. Sampson told me three weeks until I'm ready to care for the kids by myself, and I'm thinking it will be more like two weeks. Hubby and Mom have been here with me the past week, and he took off a couple days this week. When he is back to work on Thursday of next week, I think I'll be fine.

Other than that it's been pretty uneventful -- which is a good thing!
