Co...It's barely been a week since your surgery! Come on, you know it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to recover 98% of the tensile strength in whatever tissue they cut during the procedure (or so says Robbins, anyway. ;-) ). Doing the right stuff for a few days is good, but I think you need to give yourself some more time to heal. And listen to Dr. Grumpy's advice on this one. :-) I hope you are able to let go of the guilt & get some rest so that you can feel better soon.student dr. blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307156914515136574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-54782683118070990912009-10-15T06:50:46.572-04:002009-10-15T06:50:46.572-04:00The problem is the huge doctor/mommy guilt complex...The problem is the huge doctor/mommy guilt complex that I have.<br /><br />And I fully admit I'm a lousy patient, but this time I HAVE been doing everything - the PT, home exercises, elevation, icing...ER's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03203520439121823165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-39400093394646374302009-10-14T22:43:21.775-04:002009-10-14T22:43:21.775-04:00In case it sounds like I had TOO much fun taking &...In case it sounds like I had TOO much fun taking 'sick days' for that pinkie toe....I spent it elevating my foot while on the couch watching movies...we had just subscribed (the day before) to ALL the premium movie channels on satellite, $2 per month for 5 months special!).....<br /><br />What amazing timing!Gerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377735773222695850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721171044050776789.post-88810641090096589812009-10-14T22:37:36.696-04:002009-10-14T22:37:36.696-04:00Thank God!

Rem...I think this is good. You need to get better.<br /><br />Remember- you can't take of anyone if you don't take care of yourself first.<br /><br />I tell it to people all the time. Maybe someday I'll listen to it myself.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.com
