The Injured One had his stitches removed yesterday and rec’d the go-ahead for easing back into work (4 hours a day). I think going from reclining in an easy chair for weeks to dealing with the work environment was quite a leap (he’s snoozing in the easy chair with his leg elevated as I type).
The surgical site looks good according to the doc. Next week is PWB — yay! Scheduling the first PT appt is in the cards for this afternoon.
Progress!

It feels a bit like he went from 0 to 60 mph in a day. Work seems to be more difficult than I think he was anticipating — it seems to make him quite fatigued and a bit grumbly. I suppose it’s one thing to be home and feeling wimpy; quite another to be out in the real world, trying to accomplish tasks that were done without thought prior to the injury.
Start of whining:
This is starting to wear us both down — it’s supposed to get quite cold here tonight and I was just outside trying to remove the hoses from the outdoor faucets. I tried pliers, vise grips, struggling, wailing…they will not budge. I wanted to lay in the dirt and kick and scream!
End of whining:
