Tuesday.
I graduated from an adjustable sofa to a bed last night. Practiced laying down and getting up with no problems or extra pain in my belly area / incisions. I was able to roll to my sides a few times for 5-10 minutes, but mostly slept quite well on my back. My parents stay up late and sleep in longer, so today I’m getting up earlier to work my way back to my normal VEM, Very Early Morning schedule. I’ve got 6 more days to recover on “vacation” and I’ll likely start back to work on Monday. Working from home part-time for a while until I’m cleared to drive and carry a backpack.
Feeling great today and rested. Yesterday, I took a walk with my parents and when we got back the route was shorter than the day before. (I was using my fitness tracker app to record distance, heartrate, etc) So, I said we should go a bit further. I chose to go left (not exactly familiar with their neighborhood) and that route ended up being a bit longer than I bargained for. The total distance was 1.5 miles. I was a bit tired for the rest of the day and didn’t take a second walk other than taking loops around the furniture. It was hard to keep my eyes open when my wife and 2 of the 3 kids came over to visit. Kalum was out sick with strep, so he stayed home with his germs.
