Day 21
 3 weeks...had to take a pain pill this morning but I was not painfully stiff when I got up and stood.  To feel this was at 3 weeks is incredible relative to referencing my 1st surgery.  There is so much uncertainty but I have to remember, tomorrow is built on today.  I am in today and if I take care of today tomorrow will reflect that.  Perspective comes back in to rear its ugly little head.
A decent little day today as the weather allowed me to sit outside in the sun on a modified chair set up to accommodate a higher seat.  I have been able to walk in the yard with crutches and while it doesn't feel as good as yesterday before I fell, it isn't as bad as I expected and feared it might be.
The surgeon returns from his long absence so hopefully the issue of the antibiotic-Coumadin issue will be resolved and I don't have to feel like a pin cushion anymore.
The other issue is home nursing.  I have been very accommodating to them as I had nothing else to do but I need to take life back and the direct in the middle of the day apt has to stop.  I have to have my car taken in, I need to go to a meeting even though I will be in a transfer chair.  I will work with them but no longer be at their complete disposal since they call the morning of and split the day. If I am doing nothing that is 1 thing but I am not going to change schedules just to make their life easier.  In the medical field we act complacent like we have no choice.  All our choices are ours from the meds we take, the questions we ask, the decisions we make even if it runs contrary to that recommended.  There are consequences to our actions and as long as we are aware of those and base our decision on the best information at hand then we should rest well.
I did Not take a pain pill last night before going to bed. I think the amount of getting up I did during the day was good for me
