@lionness You are way ahead of me, but of course I'm still recovering. I did walk 4 blocks yesterday. My knees hurt this morning, probably because I haven't walked that far for a long time.
I didn't sleep very well last night and very tired this morning. It's going to take time to heal from the big back surgery. I was really hurting this morning. I got off of Oxycodone yesterday. The tramadol helped with my pain this morning, but the surgeon wants me to get off of it too.
Have been depressed since I have come home from seeing my one month checkup. I cry so easy and really miss my dog, even though shes in a good place and I would not be able to take care of her. Still have to wear my brace and no bending, twisting, or lifting anything heavy. My husband has really been busy doing ever everythingI use to do. I did get a load of towels in the washer yesterday. My husband put them in the dryer, but with my streacher (SP) I got them out and folded them
Keep up the good exercise, I will get there one of theses days, may take a year. Jeanie Lily was my dogs name.

@lilypaws please don't be too hard on yourself. You had a major surgery. Just take it slow, one day at a time. Listen to your body. If it gives you too much pain, maybe you can ease off a little. Nobody expects you to run a marathon. Thank goodness your husband can help. One day you will look back and marvel at how well you recover. Right now, take care. I'm sorry about your dog, maybe you can face time with the new owner and see your dog that way. Talk to your doctor about the pain. Maybe there's something else he can prescribe that's less additive than oxy.
@lilypaws, Jeanie, a 4 block walk after your major surgery sounds impressive to say the least! I'm sure you are greatly missing your dog but maybe you'll be up for a visit with her before long? Can't remember if she is being boarded now are if you placed her in a new permanent home?
Glad your husband is helping. Always think it is an ok thing when husbands/dads pitch in on tasks which wives/moms usually do. Creates a new awareness, yes? Smiles

@lilypaws You have a good excuse ,your recovery from surgery don't do to much now or your hurt yourself . Listen to the Dr. No bending,stretching or twisting . I can't do as much twisting since my fracture in 05 I guess I'm just afraid too I know its healed but still don't want to . You be careful and bless your husband .
