I walked
9 10 2008In my post op instructions it says to get up and walk every two hours to avoid blood clots in my legs. So I have been walking around the house. Today, man was it beautiful outside, I went up & down the driveway a few times and around our neighborhood, I think maybe 2/10 of a mile ,max 1/4 mi. It felt so good to know that I can still get in some sort of exercise. I was also doing lunges going down our downstairs hallway. I have my first post op Dr. appointment tomorrow a.m. Can’t wait to hear what they have to say. The drains are driving me nuts, they are so itchy and always seem to be getting caught under the bandages. Will walk some more tomorrow. I plan to continue to increase my distance as I heal. From what I read, I can’t run for 8 weeks. Walking will have to do.
