Recovery

Strangely whilst the hospital team work on recovery begining the day after surgery. I have this thing in my head that it only started when I left the hospital.

The only things I can do is walking, simple leg exercises and breathing exercises.

The walking part I love so be focusing on that and breathing exercises.

I try to walk at least 3 times a day. Focusing on 300 - 500 metres.

I am really pleased that today I completed 2 seperate walks of 1K each, for which I am really pleased

Is this the first time I am listening to what someone tells me to do something. I suppose the last time was my mother. The similarities - both life and death situations. On my way to the pharmacy now to buy a special body wash I need to use until Monday.
