Day 7, 4/29/2012

This is day 7. My surgery was last Monday, 4/23/2012. My lovely daughter-in-law took me to the hospital...an hour away, at least. The worst part has been having to cough during the first few days. I went back to work Wednesday, day 3. I was very sore and tired, but I got through it.

I'm not telling friends and family, except my sons, daughters-in-law, and 3 people I work with. Not everyone is supportive!

I was able to have lunch at Chili's yesterday, with one of these people, and she didn't notice. I had the chicken enchilada soup...which I ate very slowly and chewed the chicken bits to death. I was full, but not uncomfortable. I told her I couldn't eat anything that wasn't soft because of my temporary crown.

My surgeon's rule is, if it doesn't bother you, it's OK. So, I've probably been doing things most people don't...driving and working on day 3, switching to some mushies on day 6.

I don't know how you made it to work after 3 days.. I took 2 weeks off and am glad I did.. I seemed to have healed slow. Still sore and haven't slept very well since surgery 13 days ago. Still on liquid diet until Monday when i see my surgeon. I am ready for real food. lol

Way to go you!!! Day 3 and back to work regardless of your work level, even sitting was hard for me on day 3. I either slept or was uncomfortable. I have to be on the liquid diet for 2 weeks....yuck!! I am ready for some meat!!!!!

My son is having a pool party at our house 2 days after my surgery May 10th. I told him not to expect any help from me. I don't mean to sound selfish, but I just didn't know what condition I would be in. He understands and was not hurt.

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
