As for today's post-op update...

Today, at two weeks and one day post-op, is where this blog will likely stop having daily post-op reports. Why? I don't really have anything new to report. Today is day 2 of a 6 day blizzard, and considering I can't get into the boosted truck with the 4 wheel drive, and the Kia Soul is... not quite as good on the roads in these conditions, and also considering I have a history of fucking up fresh surgery in a freak accident.... today's PT was cancelled, Thursday's will be rescheduled, and so will Friday's post-op appointment with my surgeon. I also need to call my lawyer about re-applying for SSI Disability, which while I know this part isn't super taxing on me, I still prefer to not be on opioids while doing it. So, I have things to do tomorrow, but they certainly don't involve leaving home. And they're not too exciting to blog about more than this, either.

As for my leg and the healing process, that's again where it's boring! Hooray!! Even that problem muscle in my inner thigh has loosened up, and I'm walking straight shots with a normal stride, only getting choppy about turns so I make sure to stick to my rotation restrictions. The walker is a great abundance of caution at this point, again, I'm prone to post-op freak accidents. And I have eight cats. Better safe than sorry. The only pain I have still is suture pain, and that one protesting muscle, but even the suture pain is as well managed right now with Tylenol and Meloxicam as it was with Tylenol and Oxy two weeks ago.

So, no news is good news when it comes to post-op going forward! From here you get me spouting off about current viral topics in blog essays, and in 11 days you'll get regular hair growth updates on top of that as the 2026 Hair Growth Challenge begins.
