Today marks two weeks (14 days) since my surgery. The time has passed like a fog as I suspect I have been in a fog for a good portion of this time. I have an post-op appointment with the surgeon this Friday, and check-in with the med-onc next Wednesday the 10th.
I was able to walk with Lu and the kids to the local park - rough a mile walk, so I figure that is pretty good. I'm still in a bit of a mental fog which is either me still recovering from a major surgery or a side effect of the pain medication I take every four hours - probably the latter. I have been lowering my dosage during the day and seeing how it goes. For the first time today I did not nap, and now at 8:40pm I can feel the tired. ;-)
Lu continues to astound me with her patience with me and energy toward maintaining normalcy in our house. The kids seems to be doing quite well and are enjoying all of this family time, though Daddy can't chase them very well.
Jim, you rock! You are doing so well...I know it doesn't feel like it but you are progressing every day!!!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the fog...well...it's been "Weekend at Bernie's" in these parts : ).

ReplyDeleteI think your recovery is going so well! So pleased to hear about the family time. In many ways such a gift to have this time of healing with your family close by.
