By all accounts I'm doing real good. Pain never was really an issue, Dr. says I just have a high tolerance for pain, what ever, never needed pain meds. I started PT five days after surgery, which was twice a week at home plus exercise I do three times a day on my own. I am now going out for PT. I don't know how long that will last, I think I am scheduled for 12 sessions. I had zero appetite for the first two weeks and still don't really have much of one. Good thing is I lost 12 lbs. and have gone off blood pressure meds. I don't know if that is temporary or not. I had an issue with real low blood pressure two days after operation, which put me back in hospital for two days. I Kept passing out, kind of worried the wife. Aside from PT I go out twice a day for short walks, gets me out of the house. My neighbor let me use his sit down walker for several days. My granddaughter had several school activities I wanted to attend and without that walker, I would not have been able to go. We went to her, letter of intent singing day at school, The University Of the Pacific offered her a spot on their softball team, which will cover 2/3 of the tuition, she will be in pre dental classes. On top of that she received scholarship tuition money. Then we had athletic awards banquet to attend, she got the MVP award. then we found out she was selected for OC Allstar team, so we went to Allstar game. Then to top it off we went to her graduation. Now on to full recovery for me and off to collage for her.
