Back To Reality

So here we are 15 days post op.  I still feel pretty crappy and the rain isn't helping.  The best way to describe it is a very dull ache - if you have ever had a knee injury or broken limb you know the ache I am talking about.  It arrives with the change of weather and only goes away once the sun comes out.

Today is the return of reality.  The guy goes back to work tonight for the first time in two weeks.  Its going to be interesting.  I can now unofficially start doing my regular chores and such but the heavy lifting is still unadvised until after July 19th.  The guy is really hoping it goes bad so that he can have another 2 weeks off but after what I have gone through I think I am going to suck it up and deny him it. If it means a setback for me then so be it.

I think the hardest part of being home was the inability to go out by myself.  With all the rain there was no chance as I couldn't hop in the car and drive myself and I really wasn't into walking in the rain.  With the guy so busy with his 2nd job (its a tech job that can be done at home) I couldn't even get him to drive me.  Since the surgery I have been out a few times but honestly its not the same as it was by his rules.  I really think I am going stir crazy.  I so want to just jump in the car and speed away but one thing is still holding me back.  My neck.  Do I risk getting behind the wheel when my shoulder checking is still below par?  I don't think its a risk I am willing to take just yet.

I wont even get into all the crazy that is going to be happening starting next week.  Lets just say crazytown will be returning.  If you checked out the first part of my blog before the alien you will know exactly what I mean.

ps - no new photos of the scar...its just a simple line now and no longer exciting to look at.
