Take one day at a time and you will get there with the rehab. Hang in there, Tim AS may win some battles, but I will win the war. KONK - Keep ON Kicking

I am still having some pain which I expect but I am feeling much better. I have to share that the last 2 nights I have stayed in our bed all night without having to take a pain pill and move to a chair for a while. That has been going on for 3-4 years. I just could hardly believe it when I woke up in the night, checked myself out and thought "Hm-m=m I don't need a pain pill!" I have been so blessed. I had my first outing. Hubby took me out to lunch and when we came home I slept 4 hours. Who knew eating was so exhausting. ) How are you doing?

Thank you all for your encouragement through the decision making and following through with the surgery. Once, more I overdid it yesterday. I suppose you "could" say I am a slow learner but I prefer a "striver". :o) I walked about a mile yesterday and yes, that was too much. I paid for it last night and this morning. I get my staples out tomorrow a.m. and get X-rays so we can see what is going on. That will be good. I won't be walking outside today. It is right at 100 now heading toward 103 supposedly. I have to share that the redness in my lower leg is gone since surgery. Yes, circulation is back! My feet don't hurt!! I still have pain but it is still surgery pain. I don't know about my knee pain. It is new since surgery and I think it is nerve pain because I am having that from my back and down my leg. I am so straight that every one of my family and friends that see me are as thrilled as I am. I feel so blessed. Thank you all.
