D-149 - Impatient Outpatient

Forwards several steps, backwards a few?

I was walking fine after the op, but I did what I was told and used the crutches to keep weight of the foot.

24 hours later and still nothing hurt and no painkillers.  Surely the anaesthetic had worn off by now.  But I behaved.

48 hours later, and there was, admittedly a bit of a twinge, but I got a lift to the gym and worked my upper body.

Yesterday, I decided I could do an emergency stop, so drove to the gym.  Upper body had forgotten what workouts were, and was complaining.  I also managed some one legged rowing at a fair pace.

This morning was time to change the dressings and uncover the horror.  I'm hideously bruised, but unlike after my last hurried recovery from a shoulder arthroscopy, there was no gore.  Until I changed the dressing, and the flood gates threatened to open on one of the wounds.

I quickly covered it up and pretended not to see anything.

Back to work tomorrow - I can't malinga any longa.
