I just had to make a note of this. Even the one piece of junk mail was for health food, so not categorically bad. A card from Mom, two refund checks and a health food flyer – all good – never happened before!
Yesterday’s symtoms log, for the morbidly curious:
26 FEB 20: Post-Op pain is >50% resolved at this point – almost off the oxycodone. It makes a good sleeping pill. Sleep loss has been an issue all along. IME, spinal fusion hurts more than a hip replacement, but resolves quicker. Started a little stretching today. It’s like a year’s worth of that crippling problem suddenly disappeared. Morning pain from the injury site immediately upon getting out of bed is gone, and the need to constantly sit and stay off my feet is diminishing. Right leg and knee remain unusually tender and sore. A year of waiting for a hip replacement, followed by another year of stumbling around on a broken back took their toll. BP normal at 114/67.
