don't think this is what doc meant.....

I was released from doc 15 days ago. He told me to ease back into my life. Well the first week I did pretty good. I vaccumed carefully and started cleaning more around the house.
This week well......I decided to get rid of the indoor/outdoor carpet out of the sunroom. It's a 30X30 room and the carpet was glued pretty good. Not any more!! I got it all up and hauled to the trailer. Then I started scrapping the glue off. I don't really hurt - sore but not hurting.
Today I am sore - not hurting but sore. I took it easy most of the day because I have very little energy. My kids and hubby have kept me hopping all week long.
Man o man it sure felt good to get something accomplished! But I really don't think that is what my doc meant by easing back into my life at 8 weeks post op.

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear that you may have overdone it a bit! Take care of yourself and try to rest this w/e!!

I don't think that's what he meant either ! But as long as you are feeling ok, and nothing seems to be wrong, you should be ok. Just maybe ease up a bit on barrelling back into life !

I am pretty sure easing back into life did not include removing carpeting and scraping glue! But hey, when you feel up to it, we are scraping some of that indoor/outdoor stuff up, too--you can come help!

Try take it easy the next few days and get in touch with your doctor if your soreness turns to pain. Some long soaks in the and some ibuprofen might be a good idea as well!

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op, and can relate. I know you've been saving up that energy for 8 weeks waiting for the opportunity to do something productive...something you can see the results of!! Just don't over-do.

And commit to memory the phrase "we only get one chance to heal right."

(But I would probably do the same thing.)

I crashed hard on Friday. Was so worn out. Today is better and scrape some more glue. Not really sure why I decided to start this project! Thanks for all your kind words.
