Recovery

I have been home for 3 weeks now. I have discarded my walker which is a good thing. Walking comes in pretty handy now and then. My biggest complaint now is my stomach and the stinging pains that occur when I overstep my bounds.

My stomach is still swolen and really numb. I have no feeling near the incision. It is really hard to sleep still and get comfortable. I hope these feelings go away before I goto work again.

I got a call today that the doctor wants more x rays before my office visit on Aug 18. So, Cindi will take me down to St. Joseph on Monday the 14th.

I am walking about 1 mile each day because other people tell me that walking is the key to getting better. So far, I don't see it.
