Post-surgery
Day 6:
The shoulder was a bit more sore today than yesterday, after last night’s incident. But nothing seemed too out of the ordinary, so hopefully that didn’t do anything except add some pain. Sleep is still the bane of my existence; last night I slept 11-1, and then 3-8:30 on the couch. Still doesn’t feel as good coming in chunks.
Today was another repeat of my exercise routine. Each day, I’m adding 5 calories to my run; today was 210. I did my side kicks and ab work, and added a couple of squats.
My martial arts instructor called me up today to see how I was doing. He had hip replacement surgery the week before my surgery, so he’s also trying to get back. So we compared notes on Percocet and discussed teaching attire. When I go in next week to teach my classes, I’ll probably be wearing camo pants and a dojang T-shirt. That’s our kali oufit anyway, so it won’t be too out of place. I can’t tie a belt one-handed, and I don’t really want to ask someone to tie it for me. He is fine with that plan, as his own wardrobe has been a bit non-traditional as well with his hip surgery.
