3 days post-op!

Sep 16, 2011

Well, today is my 3rd day since surgery. I am still pretty sore since I bruised alot but am getting my energy back and feeling pretty good. I have been walking alot more and even started to do more housework today. Getting real sick of the broth, jello, and powerade zeros i've been drinking so since i've been tolerating them well, I made myself a 4oz protein shake today and didn't have any problems drinking it. I don't wanna push myself too fast so I don't intend on moving up to the next stage for another 3 days but it was nice to drink something other than the same things. I am still getting that severe cramping feeling every once in a while when swallowing things and I thought that maybe I was taking too big of sips but even with the smaller sips it still occasionally happens. I guess it's just something thats gonna take a little more time to stop happening? Now it's pretty much a waiting game, walking around the neighborhood and up and down the block is all i've been doing for now, eventually when i'm healed a little better I will start going to my neighborhood center gym and walking the treadmil but the weather here is starting to get cooler so for now I think sticking with the street is good for me :)
