Aci – slow recovery

So it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since surgery. I have gone to work twice for half days. It’s exhausting. My job involves listening to people and makining decisions. This is challenging when my leg is throbbing. I need to come up with a way to prop up the offending limb in a dignified fashion. Yesterday I felt pretty down. This morning I feel some what better. My husband leaves for a two day business trip and my sitter is out of town. I’m nervous. Kids might have to miss  some sporting events – as driving for more than 20 minutes is uncomfortable. Oh well- not the end of the world. My doctor did not prescribe a cpm machine- which seems odd since all the websites on aci surgery recommend using one for 6-8 hours a day. I’m going to call him about starting PT soon which will undoubtedly hurt. I feel like I have physically aged 10 years but mentally I have turned into a baby. I have shed more tears in the last 2 1/2 weeks than I have in the last 2 1/2 years.  I can’t stand being around me – I’m no fun! Good thing no one reads this as I am not exactly inspirational!
