Too Much Too Soon
I was feeling pretty good about my recovery this morning. I felt great and was even able to take a few steps virtually unaided by the walker. Even though I told myself not to push it and to be patient, I definitely didn’t rest enough. By dinner my foot was very swollen, my knee was tight, and I was exhausted. I still need to finish the laundry and work on Christmas cards. I’m very happy at my flexibility and am now able to sit comfortably with my legs up on the couch (not quite Indian-style).
