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.
