Tomorrow morning I will be discharged from the hospital. Today the staff confirmed I would be ready for this by giving me a little "pop quiz" on stairs, walking, getting out bed, etc. using crutches on my own without help from the staff.
I took a shower.
I drank lattes.
I had a mushroom cheddar omelet for breakfast and grilled salmon with brown rice and carrots for dinner.
I surfed wikipedia
I read my book
I talked with a friend on the phone who has a broken heart.
The physical therapist told me that they have never seen anyone bounce back so quickly from this surgery in terms of basic functioning like getting out of bed, putting on socks, sitting, moving standing, etc. I don't know how to account for that. I'm neither younger nor more athletic than most people who get the PAO.
The surgeon also said he found my bones particularly nice to cut. Now that's a compliment you don't hear ever day.
