Almost 6 Weeks Post Op!

If there's one thing I like better than the pastel colors around Easter, it's eating chocolate bunnies!

It's been a good weekend. I finished filing my taxes and I went on my first post-op run today. Surprisingly it went pretty well. I didn't have any pain during the run but I betcha I'll be feeling it in a couple days!

The rest of the day has been filled with spring cleaning: clearing out the fridge and scrubbing it, sweeping off the deck and vacuuming the car out. I really wish I had a housekeeper because it seems just as I have one room in control, another room seems to get messy. I usually save all the cleaning to do until the weekend so maybe I just need re-think my time management during the week. It sure is hard to come home from work and start cleaning though! Hmm, I guess my energy level is still low.

Tuesday will be the six week mark after my surgery which means:
  • I can start exercising again (um, I jumped the gun but only by a couple days)
  • I can start heavy lifting again (whatever, I try not to do that anyway)

So, it's on to a new page now. I'm feeling pretty good and for the most part am back to normal. My incision sometimes stings a little but it seems to be healing pretty well (despite the muffin top that's still lingering).

Bring spring on!
