That five minute walk totally exhausted me so we will have to see how long it takes to get up to thirty. I don’t want to do too much too soon.


Moodwise ive been pretty stable. I’m pretty bored but that’s to be expected, especially because I can’t even drive to go somewhere to entertain myself. My birthday is about ten days away and I am looking forward to going out with RS to the Cheesecake Factory to get some red velvet cheesecake. And I will have my post op apppointment the day after and hopefully be cleared to drive.


No sign of my usual spring hypomania, which while disappointing is good because I won’t crash into my lAte spring pit of despair. So I guess it’s all good.
I'm glad you're recovering and that you're not on pain meds. Great news that you are able to walk!

I was getting worried when you mentioned a while ago that you were having difficulty with walking.
