Post-op day 13

Feeling less foggy and am getting my energy back. I went to a 5 year old birthday party yesterday. I was a little worried about a kid ramming into my incision site, but was relieved to get out of the house. I think if you are looking to do this and are trying to decide between a winter or summer recovery period, there are a couple of things to think about.

1. You will not feel bad that you are not out enjoying the nice weather, but you might not get out at all and this can make anyone a bit crazy.
2. Ted stockings in shorts would be an extreme fashion faux pas.
3. Ice pack in the summer would feel better. I am still using my ice pack around the wound. It feels better if it is numb, but I do hate bringing it into bed with me. The use of the ice pack has gone down in the last couple of days and I take this as another sign of feeling better.
