Hi Angelina!

I hope you're feeling better today. Maybe you overdid it a little at

the gym yesterday. I haven't done anything really strenuous yet but

my surgeon had told me not to do any exercise or swimming until I

was at least 6-8 weeks post-op.

I did make it to the mall yesterday to buy school clothes for my

daughter. Poor thing is going to have such a boring wardrobe this

year. They have to wear navy blue or khaki. After this surgery and

lost work hours, I can't afford to buy her anything beyond the

required school clothes. Lucky for me, she doesn't care what she

wears as long as it's not girly-girl dresses. I was exhausted

afterwards and took a long nap on the couch when I got home.

Part of the exhaustion for me is also the meds I'm still on. My OS

wants me to take Flexeril (a muscle relaxant) three times a day plus

hydrocodone so I can do really aggressive stretching exercises. It's

working (I got to 25 mm last night!) but it makes me feel sleepy all

the time. I hate that feeling but it shouldn't be much longer.

I hope you have a good day at work today and bulldoze that fever

away!
