Kathy,

Things heal faster after week 3 it seems. Just keep following the orders. Are you wearing a brace?
It was nice of your friend to clean your house and do laundry. This is what is bothering me now. I have a ton of washed laundry to put away so that is bothering me right now.
Does your friend come to California? HA HA.

Remember do not bend, lift or twist. Some definitions of twisting include opening some doors and screen doors and don't reach into a pantry or a refrig to pull out stuff. I never thought of these motions as twisting or bending but I was warned by my doc to avoid those things.

Aren't you happy to be on the otherside now? It is nice to get the surgery over with and get on with the healing. Remember slow and easy like the turtle in the turtle and the hare. The turtle won the race.

Be a turtle.

Take care,

Kim
