Recovery/Boredom

Though I’ve been working since my surgery (I was off air, but programming, the week immediately following my procedure), I’ve reached the point of absolute “drain.”

I know I need to give myself some slack but I miss my friends. I’m bored of being in bed all day. I miss fitness and working out. My foot is still far too swollen to walk, even in the aircast and I’m trying to do core fitness floor workouts but I’m honestly so tired it’s really hit or miss.

Digging very deep, I was able to work my bar shift in Barry’s Bay on Saturday night (with an assist) but slept all day Sunday a result. I will do the same this weekend but hopefully be in a better place, physically.

My next apt, with X-rays, is Friday, February 14. It won’t technically be six full weeks, post op until Thursday, February 20. I am hoping the X-rays set me free in terms of the air cast and I also hope the swelling in my ankle goes away so that I can learn how to walk with this new foot. It’s the same side (right) in which I had my hip replaced two years ago. I’ll get the hang of it… again!

Following that appointments guidance, I expect to be back at the radio station full time, per usual. While it’s awesome to be able to work from home - it is not the same. Looking forward to seeing people, driving, getting dressed, bathing, walking, tidying up, etc. and hopefully being surgery free for another few years! More than two would be nice.
