Day One after "house arrest"

I wish I had something super spectacular to tell you about my first day after my doctor-imposed "house arrest". I went to physical therapy this morning, came home and took a Percocet nap and tried to have some lunch.

The first highlight of the day was my going to the gym to do my first workout since surgery. Imagine trying to lift weights while your right leg is in HUGE bandages (and it hurts like I can't explain) and you're using crutches. I would include a photo, but I looked way to silly to publish on the Internet.

The second highlight was going out for dinner. I have been having a small problem with food (like keeping anything down and actually liking the taste of anything). It has gotten to the point where I have started drinking Ensure (that's right, the same stuff your Grandma drinks. Between the Ensure and my walker I'm pretty sure I could get an AARP card now). Anyway, we went to out to get fish and chips and it didn't taste horrible, so I'll take that as bonus. If I could go two days in a row eating some food, that would be great, but I'll celebrate the little victories. One day at a time.

Like i said, wish it was more interesting, but that's all I got.

And, no, the laundry still has not gotten done. Maybe tomorrow.
