It's late on Friday night and I just got done watching a movie after going out to dinner. We went to King Street Blues which is located in the Crystal City Shoppes, not sure why they spell it that way, but not my problem, just theirs. But yes, went out to dinner tonight and had a shrimp 'n chicken sandwich, but ended up just forking the shrimp 'n chicken because there was too much bread and not enough meat.
Recovery has been pretty crazy this time around. The pain is minimal, except for later in the day when the overnight trips out of bed made me fragile and slow for the rest of the day. It was good that I wasn't at work this week even though I felt like I could because laying down seemed to be the only comfortable position. I was able to catch up on Boardwalk Empire, FIFA, and Champions League. I don't understand how people don't enjoy European soccer. It's on when no other sports are on, 2:30pm Mon-Wed, and then 8am-12pm every weekend morning. What else do you have to do, watch the three hours of NFL Countdown, get real! My mother and I went shopping at Trader Joe's before I reassuringly sent my parents home, and it was in the store that I realized that I don't have to constantly know where the closest bathroom is or be cautious of what I ate recently. As a new healthier person being reintroduced to society, it was a pleasure not freaking out about my ulcerative colitis. Every once in a while, I have one of these self-realization moments that the reason I had this surgery is actually working out and paying off.
I understand I only had surgery a week ago, but I have planned to return back to work on Monday the 12th. I read in another persons blog that it was taking them weeks and months to return back to normal activity, but I'm looking to start a cardio workout in about two weeks. Every person is unique and so is their recovery.
