Decided to go out today for the first time since 3/21 surgery. I finished my daily walk with my wife at a local outdoor mall in 2.5 hours. I came home and took a 1.5 hour nap. however I did get out!
Wonderful update. Congratulations! The naps are nice, huh?
Amazed that you were able to get out for a 2.5 hour walk just eight days after surgery! You earned that nice nap. Enjoy the holiday weekend and continue to listen to your body. 🐣
