Good Morning to each of you! I am 3 weeks post-op, NWB in a boot. I have officially been back to work 1 week today. Yea! I am thrilled that I have been back in the office. I open my school today and students will be in. My greatest concern over the last week [...]

I survived the removal of my stitches this morning. I got a full release to go back to work - Yippee!!! AND I got my cast off!! My doctor said I could go back to work because I was ready to go back to work.
My instructions: No walking, No jumping, No standing, No WEIGHT [...]

Tomorrow is my first Post-op appointment and I am very excited to see the good doctor! I desperately want to hear that I am healing well enough to go back to work. I want to hear that I don’t have to have a cast on my leg. I want to hear that I don’t [...]

" When life happens and you are forced to stop, it’s probably an opportunity to reassess and begin to embrace a new season. That’s my current status. I am laying on my back as I write this blog post. I was living my life and then I jumped up and in [...]

I got to go out yesterday! Albeit to the hospital, BUT, it was out of my apartment into the beautiful sunshine. My cast needed to be redone, and the doctor said come in. I couldn’t get out of my apartment fast enough. Just getting to go on that road trip was enough to shake me [...]

Yesterday my nurses (my two daughters) slept in and forgot about waking me up for my meds. Not to worry, I was done any way. I took no narcotics on day 4 and day 5 - today, I am off the Tylenol. Yippee!! I am not interested in taking anything else. The pain is minimal. [...]

Yesterday was a good day. I decreased my pain medication! Yeah!! I rested well but I was bored out of my head. I didn’t even get a nap today. I have been up since about 5:00 AM and didn’t do much. You can only watch so much television. That being said, I need to find [...]

This morning my daughter woke me up for my meds and to give me a blood thinner shot. I am a morning person, so this regiment  over the last 3 days has been fine. It’s quiet in the early morning, so it gives me a chance to enjoy the silence or to click on the [...]

I am two full days post op and somehow I still have a sense of humor…I think! I am very excited to have the opportunity to write while I figure out how to recover from this surgery. My muscles in my right leg are tired from holding up the cast. I hop around with [...]
