Jeez, stuck in the house for 3 days. I am stir crazy and feel the need to eat all day long! I am doing the best I can, but it is so, so hard! I have been trying to get back on track from the holidays, but I keep flubbing! I purposely went out to shovel some more today, just to get out of the house!

I agree, Monday was one week since surgery for me, I wanted to get out of the house so bad, so I decided to go back to work and shoveled my car out. Not a very good idea one week post op and I hope I did not do any damage doing so, my back and arm are so sore today. I go for my post op tomorrow, not sure whether to tell my surgeon. But as with you, I am so bored being at home (always off on Tuesday and Wednesday), there is so much snow and it is so cold, I can't really go for a walk, and not risking going to the gym until my recheck.

I'm one week post op also. I am just taking it easy. I did some laundry and bending. Went back to my preschool and worked a few hours on Monday. But, I felt kind of weak and dizzy. Called my doctor and went to see physician's assistant today. She told me that it is still a major surgery and the body needs to heal. Take it easy and walk, not heavy lifting of any kind. Be so careful. I pushed it too much, didn't stay up on my pain meds and I'm kind of paying for it this week.

you know whats worse....summer!

At least I stepped on the scale this morning, and I am at my pre-holiday weight! WHEW!! Now to focus on getting back on track!!
