One week since surgery
Day 8:
Work wasn’t as bad as I had feared. Driving one-handed wasn’t a problem. I took one Percocet during the day, at lunch, though I think tomorrow I’ll take one with my morning oatmeal around 8 AM. I was sore this morning, but as I said it wasn’t horrible.
One thing that wasn’t good was the fact that I didn’t fit into my khakis. The fact that I can’t easily use two hands to button my pants makes it tougher, so maybe my weight isn’t as bad as all that. Still, I don’t like being so heavy.
As a consequence, I upped my bicycling by 40% today. 300 calories on the meter. Squats, lunges, ab work, side kicks, arc kicks.
The thing I’m looking forward to now is Thursday, when I’ll get my stitch take out, and will be able to take a shower without needing to keep my shoulder dry.
