One Week Post Op

Hi Everyone!

Last night seemed to prove quite interesting and solidified the fact that I can't be left alone during this recovery process! ;)

Julia had to go to work for just an hour last night and in that time I decided to take my FIRST drive back to Focus Physical Therapy and stretch out in Pilates class!

Yes, I know what you all must be thinking ("is this girl nuts?!"), but the drive was fantastic.  While I took it VERY slow, nothing hurt or felt uncomfortable.  However, I did feel slightly shaky at the wheel, so I think I will be sticking with neighborhood driving as of now... no highways or long distances yet!

Pilates class proved to be interesting.  I could barely do any of the moves, except hold table top and do some roll-ups.  But it honestly felt good to stretch everything out!  The second I got home I was SO SORE in my pelvic area, hamstrings, hip flexors and quads that I could have died.  However, I iced and when I woke up this morning, I was fine!! :)  But don't worry... no Pilates for another 2 weeks or so.

I'm getting pretty excited for Thursday when I see Dr. Coleman for the first time to get my stitches out.  I hope he gives me good news about my recovery process.  Prayers would be greatly appreciated for that!

Today will be a very fun Tuesday.  Jackie is coming over to study for a few hours, then I get to see Amber for lunch and pedicures and then my afternoon will be back on the bike with some arm work.  Tonight I get to relax, which is always very nice.

I don't have very many updates today.  I am getting antsy to get back to some decent cardio exercise, but I know I have to take a deep breath and keep moving slowly.

Peace out,
A
