Day One Hundred Thirty Nine - Recovery Day 12


I'm feeling great today! My stomach is doing good. Lisa cleaned my incision today really good. She didn't clean it yesterday because I was busy making the banner all morning, then we left for church. After church we went to mom and dad's place, then I took her to work. So this morning she finally cleaned it up. It's looking really good. So clean! I can't wait to get these staples pulled out tomorrow. My appointment is at 2pm tomorrow afternoon. I hope that I no longer feel any pain after tomorrow, but we'll see what happens.

I've been doing so much the last three days. Been pushing myself way too hard. Almost felt like I was back to normal but that is NOT GOOD!!! I'm supposed to be recovering. I need 6 weeks and I really need not forget that. It's only been 2 weeks. Still have 4 more to go to be able to start lifting heavy things again, but an additional two weeks after that to really be ok. So I slowed myself down. Today, I decided to not do anything. No driving, or walking around. Just total rest and that's what I did.

Yesterday I watered all the trees outside because Lisa didn't get to do it. Today, she did it herself. Me, I just stayed inside and rested up. After breakfast, I played a bit of Super Mario Maker, then Lees and I went into town. I needed to get some gas in the truck and put some money in the bank. This time, Lisa drove. I was just the passenger ;) No driving for me for a while. Only if I need to. We'll see how that appointment goes tomorrow and go from there.

Lisa took herself to work today. I did go on a walk this evening. I waited until it cooled down. I walked over to my parents place. My dad went hunting in Chama today. Oh man I remember last year, our Chama Elk Hunting trip. That was so fun! I was scared for my dad because he just had surgery that previous April. How ironic is it that one year later, now he's going to Chama and I'll be at home recovering from surgery lol. That is so crazy! I wish I could've gone with him. I love it out there, but there's no way I could handle those slopes. Next year, though, I'm definitely going hunting out there, even if I go by myself. I usually go with my dad, but I want to go out there, him I don't know because he may want to go somewhere else.

Anyway, I walked to my parents place because yesterday my dad said I could use his truck to drive out to the hospital tomorrow for my appointment. I was going to use my grandma's ride, but she's gotta go to the church tomorrow to wait for the plumbing company as they're going to fix something and she needs to be there to let them in. So that's the plan tomorrow. I got the truck and came home. Me and my brother talked outside for a while. After I got home, it was dark. Now, it's raining. Earlier it was raining pretty hard. I mean, strong wind and rain. I'm so glad I got my animals fed and brought in my kittens and Jayde. They were safely inside and dry when that rain kicked up. My dogs and other cats outside were also fed so everything was good. Just so glad I got that done early.

Right now I'm tired so I'm going to watch a movie and wait for Lisa to come home. Dang I'm hungry too. Oh man, I hope the appointment goes good tomorrow. I have so many questions for the doc and I just hope everything he tells me is good. We shall see. Goodnight!

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three

Did 3 miles this morning again! Feels great. My feet don't hurt. I mean, I'll feel it but it's not painful like when I first started walking after recovery. They hurt so bad after I sat down a while. That was crazy! So now, I feel great and things are much better. Also my right knee hasn't been feeling crappy in a while now. I feel great! I want to start using the Bowflex and getting back to DDP yoga so bad, but I am so afraid. You know, my recovery took longer than expected. I have said this whole time that my recovery ended the last day in October. Well that was not true! Ya that's when the doctor told me that my recovery was over, but that's not when I was feeling better because to this day, I still feel a really weird and sensitive feeling right where my incision was. I mean, it sometimes hurts, like if I lay on my stomach for a while, then roll over to get up. I really feel it and it doesn't feel good. Simetimes it scares me, like I feel like the herni

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!! Omgosh that movie was so good and so sad :'( I'm serious, I was really trying to hold back tears on that one scene. Dang that movie was really good. I think the better than that entire prequel trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next one. Dang we only got a couple hours sleep last night. Lisa and I didn't end up going to bed until almost 2am. Then we had to get up at 5 and meet my family at Dennys at 6am. We actually got there before they did haha. But it was fun! We had some great conversation and laughs at breakfast this morning. Then afterwards, we headed to the Allen 8 theater. We got there just about 7am. The ppl were already lining up. We had to stay outside in the cold for an entire hour. My mom and brother were freezing lol. It was fun though. My dad saw all this work buddies. It was cool seeing him interact with all his friends. Everyone knew him and my mom. Very cool. We had a great time, even thoug

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a
