it rained this morning, so my husband and i took a walk after dinner. Humidity had dropped a bit, but breathing (exercise induced asthma) was still difficult on the uphills. We saw 2 deer and marveled at how they leaped over the rows of tobacco plants in a nearby field without touching a single leaf, or so it looked from our perspective.
@sabine66, Welcome to the group! We are all at varying stages of repair and the healing for anything you can imagine! We try to encourage each other along the 'walk' to improved health. Being that you are just 2 weeks post op, you are great to add walking to your daily healthy habits. I am going to guess that you used to walk with Benji before the surgery. Am I correct? I'll be interested to hear if you begin to feel less winded after repeated days of walking.

Yes, our daily walks has always been something Benji and I have looked forward too. I started walking around my backyard the day after surgery, knowing how important it is to get up and move. Just frustrated that even two weeks later I am still feeling weak and was expecting to be a lot better by now! Patience has never been my strong suit, and having all these new limitations such as limited Range of motion, lifting restrictions and overall being weaker is getting to me. Making me wonder if I will ever be myself again!!
