Heading back to the Doctor
I have to say I am excited today to go to the doctor. That is not something one usually says but today is my follow up appointment after surgery. I expect to be told I am either on or ahead of pace for recovery and hopefully I will be given permission to drive once again. I have to admit it has been tough being regulated to the house or going out only with someone else doing the driving.
The recovery process has been slow but steady. When I came home from the hospital it was painful to get in and out of bed and even rolling on my side was a painful undertaking. But then again I remember getting out of bed for the first time last Thursday even with help it was not an easy experience. Then on Friday morning when I took my first walk about 100 feet down the hall it seemed like it was taking forever and I was exhausted when I got back to my room. Then one night this week I decided to go to Wal-Mart not to shop but to walk. It only took once to the back of the store to want to head home again.
Today is one more step in the process, one more step toward recovery. It has been a long road but one in which I have learned a lot.
