Pretty typical day, nothing to report. I slept the same, stomach to side to back to side to stomach...all night. It keeps waking me up to roll over but I still get a good nights sleep. I usually wake up around 6:30 and get myself to the bathroom, I can get in and out of bed pretty quickly now so it's not much of a pain. Get myself out of bed around 8 and make some breakfast. I've been making an egg white omelet with scallions, green peppers and tomatoes on half of a Fiber One muffin, toasted. I can do it all myself as well as walk into the other room to sit in my chair and eat it. I'm feeling pretty confident about things...Kevin is going snowboarding tomorrow until around 8-9pm so that means I have to do ALL my meals (except my lunch sandwich because he makes that at night for me). For dinner I'll just have a frozen meal that I stocked up on and make a salad, should be pretty easy. Not feeling up to doing dishes yet...I think it may be MANY months before I'm ready for that. :-D
My scar is looking even better which is good! I wish I didn't have to wait so long until my appointment, but if I were to go tomorrow, it's not like I could start doing things before I was healed enough anyway, so what am I so antsy for? Just an impatient person and it surely shows. Can't wait until I can drive and walk outside! That'll be heaven!
I did 10 squats today...I figure that will help strengthen both legs. I stood with feet shoulder width apart and held onto my crutches in each hand and squatted down a bit, 80-90% weight bearing on my non-op leg held for a couple seconds and back up. It felt good, but it really hurt the non-op hip but it's pain I have to deal with until I can get it fixed. I don't know if Dr. Millis has ever had someone BEG for a PAO, but that's me...HURRY UP RPAO AND HEAL!
