That about sums up my day!I had PT at 8am today--a bit too early for my tastes, but I took what was available. Not very exciting--just some VERY gentle stretching. The only thing that hurts at all is when she raises my arm up over my head. OUCH!!
The visit to Dr. Dietch was pretty routine. I showed him my shoulder incision and said "THIS is what my abdomen is supposed to look like!" Then I showed him my stomach and he was pleased to see how well it's coming along. So now I don't have to go back for 8 weeks--April 21. Cool--who knows how much I'll be healed by then? Hopefully close to 100%. And he gave me full clearance for the gym, with no restrictions!
When I got home, it was only a little after 2. It was sunny and in the 40s, and I decided it was time for a walk. So I grabbed Duke and his leash, and off we went. Just a trip around the block, half a mile, but it felt so good. And, now that I think of it, MY HIPS DIDN'T HURT!!!! OMG, I can't believe it!! I didn't notice it when I was walking, but I just now realized there was no pain. That's a real first for me! Cool beans!!!
Food was fine today, and the indigestion of the past 2 days is mysteriously gone. Thank God! I have taken all my supplements with no problems. I got in all my water (9 glasses!) and I'm feeling good. Tomorrow is weigh in, and I will be interested to see what the scale says. I have no expectations. It's been a good week, so I would hope to lose, but I went off the "water pill" so who knows, maybe I'm retaining a bit? (Although I've been peeing the normal amount, so I wouldn't think so). Hopefully I'll get that treadmill clearance tomorrow AM, and be in the gym on the treadmill right after lunch. Finally, I can get myself back on track!
