In 8 days I go back to work. I feel much better. There were a few days after surgery where I felt very, very, old. Now I feel younger. I have pretty much graduated from using the cane. I no longer sleep 11 hours a night; only 9 or 10 now. I wonder how much of that extra sleeping is due to recovery and how much is due to having absolutely no schedule that I have to keep. I am not complaining about sleeping so long. I actually like it. I enjoy sleeping without having my right hip throb in pain all night long. So how do I want to spend my last week off of work? Continue what I have been doing? Physical therapy exercises three times a day and two long walks a day plus working on craft projects and reading books and watching movies? Fuggetaboutit! My blood is thin and I am sick to death of walking around my block watching out for icy spots. My eyes are continually on the road so I don't slip. I am also sick of walking in stores and malls. So I am taking things into my own hands and traveling to a place where I don't have to dress before I go outside as if my life depended on it. I have the time off so why not?
