Two weeks post-op today!

I took my walker into the kitchen last night to take my bedtime meds, and got halfway back to my bedroom before realizing my walker was still parked in the kitchen 😅😅

Guess I'm feeling better! That one muscle is still prone to tightening up, but frequent, gentle stretching and Robaxin loosen it up again pretty quickly.

And, I'm off the Oxy! Down to just my usual pre-surgery pain combo, hooray!!

Thankfully, at-home PT exercises are going well, because we're in the middle of a two day blizzard, and I've already called off tomorrow's appointment in favor of hunkering down 😅😅

Michigan right now.

Brace yourself for TMI lady stuff... I'm just a couple of days away from week five off The Pill, and so far... nothing. Not a drop of menstrual fluid. That doesn't mean it still couldn't happen, but... the freak period I had during my cerebrospinal fluid leak in 2023 might have been it? 🤞🏼🤞🏼 Now, I do take daily Omega 3-6-9 supplements that include Evening Primrose Oil and Flax Seed Oil, both are highly estrogenic, they may be taking up the slack. Especially since I also eat a lot of ground flax seed, as I'm allergic to egg and use it to bind my baked goods. But I have my annual physical with my PCP next month, and I do believe perimenopause will be topic number one, yes even before the fresh hip replacement and podiatrist report (I see them next month, too). And I plan on staying off The Pill until that appointment, give her a good baseline read for any blood work she may order about that.
