Day 6

Before I had the surgery I had two important goals for Mother's Day.  1) to be able to get to the cemetery to visit my mother's grave and 2) and to not ruin this day for my wife.  Both goals have been reached.  Sleeping sucked again and I can't sleep more than 2-2.5 hours in a row.  I got up 5x last night and needed help the first two because of the compression cuffs.  The next three I got up because I use my light (purple) elitefts band to lasso my foot/ankle to pull it to the edge of the bed.  I am now able to walk across a room unassisted.  However, I do limp but that is nothing new.  Tomorrow starts physical therapy which will happen 3x a week for 3-4 weeks.  I look forward to it. It's day 6 and I can say so far I'm happy I had this surgery because it has given me confidence that I can do anything I want to do.  Adapt & Overcome
