Six Week Post-Op Blues

Yes. I'm whining. Everything hurts. I'm sure it's ergonomics and compensation while I try to minimize weakness in my leg. Trying to figure out what it will take to get past this lower back and both legs pain.

The iMac is set up. I'll add things as I need them now.  Dropbox is still synchronizing. And I don't seem to be able to wake it up from sleep. Does it just turn itself off? Do I have a setting wrong? I'll explore more.

I got my haircut. Therapy, despite my lower back troubles, is going well. My follow up with the doctor went great. My last granddaughter graduated from high school today with her cosmetology license as well, so she's thrilled. Not sure what she has lined up. Vacuuming did NOT happen. I guess it's too early for that.

The Week Ahead:
  • Rest to see if this back will ease up
  • Walk -- some of it behind a lawn mower at the store unless Mr. L has time to load the riding mower into a trailer and take me over there tomorrow so I can "get 'er done."
  • Physical therapy; schedule my 12 week follow up with my surgeon -- forgot to do it Friday before I left
  • Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.  Good night.

Got to do the riding mower at the store. Whew! No way the electric mower would have made a dent in that nearly two foot high grass.

Glad you got the riding mower. My roomie says you should not be pushing a mower six weeks after surgery!

Sorry you're blue. Hope your knee continues to heal and does so fast.

Your roomie is right. I don't think I should have been riding on the mower either, that may be part of the cause of my back pain. Taking it easy.
