Another Update...

Just wanted to let all of you know how I'm doing with my recovery...

- Today is my last day I have to wear the stockings (these are used to help prevent blood clots after surgery).

- This past Sunday I took my last Vicodin so I am currently on no pain meds except that I started taking my anti-inflammatory medication again this week which I was told to do after my Lovenox injections were done.

- I have had somewhat bad sinus headaches on Monday and Tuesday but none today so I think I'm getting that figured out - I was trying to sleep back in bed but was still moving back to the couch after a few hours. Last night I stayed on the couch all night and got a full 7 hours of uninterupted sleep.

- I'm still doing physical therapy at home 3 times a day and that seems to be going well and I'm gaining muscle strength.

- I am not as tired this week since going off the Vicodin - this can lower blood pressure which was making me tired all the time.

- I have been struggling with my frustration and lack of patience. I continue to work on that and pray that God continues to help me with this.

I can't think of any more to update about right now except that Spring Break starts on Friday so I'll have the kids home with me during the day which will make it a little easier... maybe! ;)

Love you all and thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!
