Day 10 ( a post op pr)

sleeping went backwards last night.  I was up every 2 hours even though my swelling has gone down a lot.  I plan on weening of the pain killers.  I am down to 2x a day on oxycodene.  I take it 8:30am and before bed at 9pm.

I planned on walking a block this morning.  Instead I did 2 blocks in 14:30. It is slow but at 10 days post op on a walker it's not bad.  For some reason my tracker couldn't get a gps location and give me an accurate distance.  I know it was over 1/2 a mile.  My focus was on perfecting my gait and landing on the heel and pushing off on the toes.  It will take time because I walked so bad for so long. My original plan was to be able to walk 1.5 miles a day at 6 weeks.  I think I will crush that.

My stupid walker scratched my hardwood floors in my living room.  I took old socks and rubber banded them to the edges and hopefully no more scratches.  I would have used tennis balls but my son loves playing with them and I only have two.  So now I have a project to fix when I can get on the floor to do it.
