Today is exactly two weeks since my surgery date. I am feeling a little bit better everyday. These 14 days have moved along fairly quickly and I am expecting to go back to work at least part time next week.
Keys of the first two weeks for me:
1. The pain involved was not a huge issue. With the pain medication, everything was very tolerable. With that said, I don't want to go through these first two weeks again.
2. My mobility and strength get better everyday.
3. You must have a positive attitude and strong personal resolve. It is not easy and once you have the surgery, you can't change your mind.
4. A lazy-boy recliner is my best friend during the uncomfortable night.
5. The advice from those that have experienced this surgery is helpful.
On Thursday of this week I return to the surgeon and get my 23 staples plucked out of my leg.
Time, Patience, and Progress!
