More Milestones Met

Hi Everyone,
Even though my life has become very mundane, and not very blog worthy, I keep hearing from folks who are checking in to the blog!  So I need to update! Thank you all for your interest in my recovery.
Today was a big day.  I drove my car (about a mile) to physical therapy.  I have a wonderful therapist who appreciates the impact of my surgery on every part of my body.  So I have some new assignments (stretches, etc.) to work on every day.
Recovery continues to move along really well.  I am taking tylenol only now - a big relief.   I feel much more normal without the pain medication.  I still have to rest a lot.  Not much pain, but a feeling of "unease" - or under the weather - just a hint from my body that there is a lot of healing still to be done, and I need to rest in order for that to happen.
Otherwise, I am walking and taking the stairs w/ no problem.  The walker and special toilet seats have found a spot in the basement.  The hospital bed will be picked up on Thursday.  Tomorrow, I am going to resume my visits to the gym - but just for careful walking around the track.  YAY!
I feel bad for Dave, who has had to take on all the laundry, shopping, dog walking, etc.  Hopefully, I will be able to take on a little cooking before long.  And I still haven't taken advantage of the "shop on line" service at Busch's - you send the order, and they bring it all out to your car!  We did it a few times before the surgery to test it out - amazing.  Just need to be a little more organized than we are so far.
Thanks so much for caring for me.  I am really doing quite well.  I am trying to concentrate on how far I have come vs. how far I still have to go...
LOVE,
NANC
