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!!

@sabine66 I don't know what kind of surgery you had, but I am post-op from my June 9th back fusion from T-10 to my pelvis. I just got off of pain pills like my surgeon wanted me too. I can understand that Patience is not your strong suit, it's not mine either. I am suppose to do short walk several times a day, but I can't know. I kept noticing that my right foot was shorter that the left. The surgeon suggested a shoe lift. One I get it I will get back to walking. My right knee hurts and I keep on having spasms in my right foot, which I never had before.
Take care of yourself, I know it's not easy. I'm still weak in my legs too.
