Days 41 & 42

This week I'm realizing how awesome it is to feel good.  You know what I mean?  When you're feeling good and not having any pain, you don't think about it.  Until you feel bad.  And you can't sit up straight, or bend over and tie your shoes without sharp pain.  That's when you remember how great it was to feel good.  And you can't wait for that to happen again.  Well, it's finally here for me.  I had read that it takes about 3 weeks to really recover.  And of course I thought "pish-posh....not ME!".  Well, folks.  It's true.  I definitely felt better after the first week and a half.  But it took 3 full weeks to really feel GOOD.  And it's a great feeling.  So if you're just starting this post-op journey...hang in there.  It gets better every day.
