Well now that I have heald, the Dr. says that I can mow my own yard and rototill the garden, and do anything else I feel like doing, except I am not to lift more than 10 lbs. yet, and never do any situps, darn it. The situp thing is because he is afraid that it will cause a hernia at the incision site. I doubt that it would but he is the Dr. Health wise everything is good, my wieght is down to 225 now, Dr. Watson wants me to weigh 210, so I am not to far away from the goal. I think with a little work I can make it. I go back to the surgen for one last time in about three more weeks, then he is done with me and counts it as a job well done. He is an excellent Dr. with a good bed side manner, Dr. Paul O'brien if any of you ever need cut on.

My walks are up to 2.5 miles now, and I haven't fallen since the first fall several weeks ago. The road rash is all heald up, and I am good to go!

Out for a walk

Just went for a walk again, all was going well till I started to head home. Then for some reason, I tripped and fell, not your normal fall where you catch yourself with your hands, I fell litterally flat on my face. I did not pass out or anything like that, just tripped an fell. Needless to say I have road rash on the right side of my face and on my chin, blood etc. Overall I'm ok, no problems with my recent surgery etc. just my face and the road rash.

Thanks for the help!

I have been recovering from my recent surgery. So far my grass has been mowed every week by one of our sons or sons in law, the bushes we wanted pulled out are gone and the bushes we wanted trimmed are trimmed. With lots of help from our kids and there spouses, more work has been done since I've been off duty than two years of me on duty! Thanks to one and all for all the help!
