Recovery has gone very well so far - having Joelle, my mother, and my sister to take care of things makes it really easy! I’ve been resting, laying flat on my back (or occasionally, on my side) for most of the time, with occasional walking around. Most importantly, no pain pills since Friday. I am still taking it very easy, and plan on taking a while more off from work, per doctor’s orders. If I start working at all, I (as most patients do, so my doctor warned me) know I’ll push myself too much, making the chance of re-herniation much more likely, which would be very bad.
Walking has been going real well so far - I can do about a half-hour before tiring out and needing to come home and rest. I can sit for about 10-15 minutes, but then need to stop. That’s mostly due to the incision though - once the stitches come out on Thursday, it should be much better.
I’ve also been doing a ton of reading - so might as well post my recent reading lists, as I have done in the past. What I’ve read:
