Well, the weekend allowed me a chance to get settled in back at home and find my bearings and limits. Today brings reality back. It is my first day alone at home and while I have someone coming in to get my lunch, etc., I will have to figure out what I need DH to do for me in the mornings before he leaves. I also have to arrange physio, phone to find out if the slight "catching" inside the joint is normal and arrange rides for therapy and doctors over the next few weeks.
Surprisingly, however, I am really learning my limits and am staying within them with no temptation as before to "do it inspite of the pain". I know this recovery period is my ticket to a normal life and I have learned my lesson. I will use this time to get strong and healthy. Work and other people can wait!
