Week 3 after Surgery

The steri strips came off by themselves this week.  I'm super impressed with how great the scar looks.  It's very minimal. 

I had several PT appointments.  The first was great.  The second was less awesome.  On Friday it was swollen and sore.  She assured me that the next week is going to be worse because we are going to take out another wedge and possibly try walking with crutches.  I'm excited about both of those things.  I worked hard all weekend to get and keep the swelling down. 

All of my muscles are super sore.  Especially my hips.  Both in different ways.  I ended up getting a massage on Friday after PT.  I have a friend from Crossfit who is a massage therapist.  She did a great job. 

I slept really well on Friday and Saturday night.  And I took a really long nap on Saturday.  On Sunday, I felt AMAZING.  It's great to have some sleep finally.  I hope that maybe I've crossed that bridge and can get back to a normal amount of sleep each night. 

My amazing mom came over to change my sheets again and help me with some chores.  I'm so lucky to have her around! 

This coming week is an incredibly busy one.  I'm hosting a yard sale on Friday and Saturday.  I've got PT and a massage scheduled.  And I'm planning to get to the gym 3-4 times this week.  I only got there once last week because I was so sore and so very tired.  I'm optimistic for the coming week, because I had such good sleep the last 2 nights. 

Looking forward to making some progress this week.
