That's all I'm good for – a monthly update.
Anyway, I had a great weekend. The guy party at our place on Saturday was a great time. The guitar hero world tour got some good use! The drum pads look well worked in. Most importantly, it was great to see everyone who came. It had been too long since I'd seen many of you, mostly due to my lack of mobility.
Speaking of my lack of mobility… I may have gained some additional mobility. There was no food for lunch today – nothing. So, I HAD to drive to go get an extreme pita. My hands were tied. There was nothing I could do. Anyway, I had no issues driving even though I've read I shouldn't be driving for another week or two.
But more seriously, this lack of physio thing is absolutely driving me nuts. The doc says not to do physio until after 4 weeks post-op. According to my research (and I have done A LOT of research), all of the post-op protocols that I have found for my exact surgery have patients in physio after 10 days to 2 weeks. I have already established excellent range of motion and reduced swelling. Meanwhile, my quads have weakened substantially. I feel that I can handle more. If not full physio, at least partial physio. I guess I will respect the doctors orders (partly), but I will add "mini-squats" to my repertoire of exercises in order to help build/preserve quad strength. I can do those with no pain whatsoever.
Looks like we're going to Canmore for the Easter weekend. That should be a nice weekend break!!
One other thing: I came across this great article about The Settlers of Catan – check it out!
