Post Surgery Update

I went to my one week post surgery follow-up appointment today. Everything is healing nicely, but the Doctor wants to send me to physical therapy because my range of motion is still limited more than he would like it to be at this point. I have been using one crutch instead of two for the past three days and now he wants me to try small distances without a crutch. I did a bit, but it's still quite weak so I'll have to build up the strength in it again. It's still swollen so I'm not through with elevation and ice packs just yet. I'm still in a fair bit of pain, but I'm down to one pain pill during the day. I still take two at bedtime though, because if I don't I wake up with raging pain.

I hope to get back to writing in a few more days as the pain lessens more and more. I miss it, but right now simply don't have the focus. I started reading A Sky Without Zeppelins. I've never actually reread it straight through. I've reread chapters and chunks, but I've never reread the whole thing since I wrote it. It gives me silly grins and giggles. I don't think I realized quite how fluffy it was in the beginning. It's doing wonders to improve my spirits and I'm only on chapter six. I'd forgotten how happy my happy/happy fic makes me. Though I will finish Body Language before working on Stars. I left the poor Doctor blinded and I really need to fix that!
