After three moderately busy days, Stan and I were both happy to take a break on this cold day and stay home. That doesn't mean we did nothing, but it was nice to be inside and just do whatever we wanted. Well, let me qualify that. I didn't want to do my exercises this morning and then again this afternoon, but fortunately Stan kept me on track and made sure I did a full set both times. Ouch. It doesn't seem to get a lot easier, but I know it's the "sine qua non" of recovery, so I did it. I complained, but I did it! As for indoor activities, however, all the Valentine decorations came down and the spring decorations went up. They'll be up for a bit before they are replaced with Easter bunnies, but since it's a late Easter this year, I think I'll wait a bit to do that.
One of the most significant issues with TKR surgery, especially on the right knee, is the inability to drive. Not having the independence to go somewhere on your own eventually becomes quite burdensome, but it will be be several more weeks probably before I'm allowed to drive again. In the meantime, poor Stan has to run every errand, pick up every granddaughter, take me to every appointment, and do all the shopping. This being Saturday when we almost always have pizza, he had to run pick up the pizza which on any normal day I would have been happy to do. Oh, well. I do feel bad about it, but that's just the way it is. Hopefully I can make it up to him in the future!
Looking to have another quiet day tomorrow, and then a busy day Monday so I guess I'll enjoy being lazy while I can!
