I went for a walk - big deal!
Yeah well, it was a big deal for me... i haven't gone for a walk in a long time.
I just walked about 6 blocks out and back... I had to stop at a convenient place to rest halfway, and now I'm all sweaty...
But I think I'll do it again tomorrow.
I'm 2 weeks and 2 days from surgery and I figure a little exercise can only help.
Referred: August 8, 2012. - Referral to HRRH Dr. Hagan Dec 20 - Surgery scheduled for April 16, 2013! Surgery completed and I`m doing fine!
Oh yeah - it's a big deal. Glad to hear that you are feeling well. Anything that gets our butts off the couch and moving is a very good thing. Slow and steady early out! Walking is awesome exercise; just make sure that you don't overdue it.
Way to go! Muriel

Congrats! It IS a big deal and walking before surgery is a great habit to get into.
Before surgery I was almost immobile. I was walking with 2 canes. When I realized I didn't need them anymore I cried. It was great to be able to walk. What most people take for granted, I was thrilled that I could do with ease!
