On the road to recovery

Well, I thought I'd let people know how I'm doing. The surgery went well and the pain preceding the surgery was minimal. The pain post surgery is far worse. I quickly realized that Vicodin doesn't work well, so I'm now on Dervocet...much better pain killer for me. I've pretty much been on my back these last few days with my leg elevated. I have a follow up appointment Tuesday and begin PT the following week. The pain is decreasing and I'm trying to wait as long as possible before taking the meds, so I can get off of them ASAP. The hardest part so far is being still, lying on my back doing little to nothing. I hope once PT begins I can start doing some simple exercises, but we'll see what the doc and therapist say. Either way, I'm trying to be as patient as possible so I can return as quickly as possible. 

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and messages...I really appreciate you.
