Welcome to my life two days after surgery. Surprisingly, I'm not in that much pain at the moment but I credit that to the pain meds. Surgery went well on Thursday, although there was apparently more damage than expected so the surgery took a little longer than scheduled. I can move everything so that's a big plus because I was really worried about that.
Yesterday morning was painful but when my mom reminded me I need to take two pills of the specific pain med I'm on for it to have an effect on me, life got a lot better. I also started physical therapy yesterday, it was massively painful but no pain, no gain. I've been doing exercises every hour and go back for both PT and my follow-up appointment on Monday morning so I'll have more updates on that later.

And finally, I did my first bit of exercising today. It was just a walk down to the store because I didn't want to bug anyone to pick me up some stuff ( I have had some awesome people helping me and wanted to give them a day off) but felt really good. I haven't been able to do anything for two weeks, first because of being sick then this and I can't get my hand sweaty so just walking around makes me feel somewhat accomplished. I'm ready to get back to the gym though.
I don't have much more to say so I'll give you another update when I know more.
