week 4

ah today is the last day of week 4 recovery and restrictions which means two more weeks of restrictions ending March 8th. Let me tell you I can't wait.

Have started out patient rehad last Wednesday and had one yesterday. Daryl is a task manager where Quade is less so. Daryl pushes me to my limit which I enjoy  just to prove I can do it where Quade just goes with the flow. "Ok do this this and this" No you CAN do this like Daryl. Needless to say I feel better working with Daryl. He had me doing stairs the other day which Quade didn't..but this time it was using the bad leg first to get more strength plus squats against the wall took the whole hour whereas Quade got me out in half an hour. Don't know if its just that I can do it or what.. I need the challenge.

Anyway I am walking bit by bit without the walker sometimes carrying it along with me just in case,. I do not want that feeling  ..."what if I can't" to come when he tells me the walker can go. I do not want to be afraid to walk again. The walker is still needed after a long sit as I'm pretty weak on standing once up though and moving I'm OK

Still having difficulty sleeping as the pillow remains in tact and I move all night long to a different position when awakening in pain. How long will this last? I can't get a decent sleep and it's driving me batty. Nightmares continue too weird...leftover from anesthesia?????? I would love a clear mind again and a pain free body.
