Cindylou,
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. I know I am only 10 days post surgery but we all have such high expectations of ourselves. Yesterday felt so good and of course today is very painful. I have to learn to pace myself and forgive myself when I just can't do anymore. I seem to remember you going off to your cabin so soon after your surgery? I am not planning to go anywhere soon. I was hoping to go to a few weddings at the end of March and early April but I am not sure about the car rides. How soon were you able to ride in the car for more than 1 hour? I am happy with my progress thus far and I do feel that the walking is great. I am sure the swelling from surgery is still causing some nerve inflammation and I have a long road ahead to come off my high dosages of meds. I do not know how long my Dr. will ground me from driving; i will see. Thank you again for your kind thoughts, they mean so much to me.
Phylly
