Who knew?

Woah! Who knew that a quick trip to Costco could be so physically exhausting? 1 week post op and thought I was feeling great, and then we ventured out today (not my first venture since surgery). Whew! Glad I have one more week off work!!!

I've been going "around the block" a time or two a day until today (6 days out) when I did a longer, maybe 1/2 mile walk on some nice trails with ups and downs in my neighborhood. I almost got home before my body just all of a sudden started hurting and I ran out of steam. I slowed down and got home fine, but it surprised me that so little walking, that really wasn't a problem before surgery, was a lot for me right now.

And costco is just exhausting no matter what--I'm not brave enough to go there yet! Too many people and the lines!

Haha. I went to Costco one week out as well and it was BY FAR the most exhausted I've been since surgery. We didn't even finish the store and I had to check out and go home. This post made me lol because I relate so much!! I've been joking about it with my husband for the last 2 weeks!
