2 months!

It's been two months since surgery. Can you believe it?!? Actually, I can. I've been on crutches for TWO MONTHS!!! I'm so tired of them!
The good news is I see Dr. Mayo tomorrow for my 8 week check up. It's going to be the first time I've seen him since surgery.
Tomorrow they will take x-rays and I'll get to see my screws for the first time. Ewww. I'm optimistic that they will tell me that I'm healing well because I feel pretty good. I only take Tylenol once a day and have been gradually putting more weight on my surgical leg (even though I'm not supposed to).
My new trick for Dustin is walking. Well, I don't really walk, I gimp. I've not technically been cleared to start walking but I figured that since it's been eight weeks, I could try it out and see how it feels. It only hurts a little. :) I don't think I'm going to bend my screws because it has been 8 weeks and they are made out of titanium, aren't they?
Anyway, please pray that I hear good news tomorrow!!

I'm in a rut

Sorry for the delay in posting. As of two days ago, I'm officially at the 5 week mark. Whew! Only 3 more weeks until I see Mayo again. I'm hoping he tells me that I can ditch the crutches. Keep your fingers crossed!!

As I mentioned in the title, I feel like I'm in a healing rut. I don't have any new "tricks" to show Dustin anymore. Deep down I know that I'm improving. Even though I still have pain, it is decreasing - it better be because I'm almost out of prescription pain killers and I'm told I can only take 4,000mg of Tylenol per day. When each pill is 500mg, 4,000 doesn't seem like very much.
I can roll over easier in bed now but since I'm feeling a bit better, I long to sleep on my surgical side because that's the side I slept on prior to surgery.

I've now been back to work for one week and it's so good to be back! I never thought I would miss coming to work but I do! I eagerly await the days that I get to go to work and get bored on the days that I have to stay home. I started out working 4 hours per day, 3 days per week but I feel so good that I think I'm going to increase to 5 hours per day. Hurray!

Please remember me in your prayers on July 28 - the day I see Mayo. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I'm ready to stop using these stinking crutches!!
