Since this is pretty much what the next few weeks will look like for my workouts, I'll just give a quick update on how I'm doing after my back surgery. The first few days were rough but at about day 5 or 6 post-surgery, I started to feel more like myself and was walking around much better and didn't need help getting up and down out of a chair, the couch, bed, etc. Part of my foot and my big toe are still numb but I feel like the muscle weakness in my leg is slowly getting better (or maybe I'm just getting more used to it?). While I haven't been exercising (or at least what I consider exercising for me), I did walk every day last week with Todd & Lucy, anywhere from 1.5-2.5 miles. Walking is the best thing I can do right now to help in the recovery process. I have my follow up appointment with the surgeon on Thursday and I'm really hoping I get cleared to 1) start picking up Lucy, 2) to start driving again, and 3) to go back to work next week.
