Hi All

I am 2 weeks post-op today...
Things are going well
ALOT of QVC shopping...

Alot of boredom, but I do try to sleep, watch TV, Internet, and avoid EATING

I have managed how to get in and out of the tub with my foot hanging over the side.

Planning on Las Vegas in June, and Caribean cruise in November..

Still in my soft boot shoe, and go back to the MD Monday after next...

Hope you all are doing well... hang in there
(my back and butt hurts from sitting

Not totally bed/couch bound the whole time but have been since my last surgery 4/4.Like I had said in one of my other posts that my bf asked me if I was growing roots.LOL Meaning roots to the couch.I will be going out tomorrow for a little while with my bf and son.Can't wait.I don't dare to even turn QVC on.Could be dangerous

Boy isn't that the truth Lou and Sue!!!! I'm crazy too and yes my butt and back hurt. I'm sitting here in my pj's looking at a stack of movies and not excited. In my busy days, I'd kill for this opportunity but I'm stir crazy now. I want to get out but don't know if I can find a way this weekend. My 17 year old son doesn't like to take me anywhere with my roll-a-bout (too embarassing). I'm going to have to resort to major begging if I am going to get out. Maybe I'll at least venture outside (this scares me after my last mishap) but that's an option. Take care ladies--this too will pass (I hope)!!

I know it
I keep telling myself in the early morning hours to pretend I have to get up and go to work,,,, usually I can then turn over and go back to sleep

Foot surgery is so limiting...even when you feel better, it's not possible to do light garden work, or go exercise...

I'm just trying to remind myself to take it easy and enjoy this break!

Las Vegas sounds like fun!

To pass the time, I read magazines. I have a bunch of them. This house looks like a bookstore. LOL

Take it easy!
