post-op day 1

yesterday was pretty smooth.  Today was a different story.. more pain, more stiffness, more ouch. Its not completely useless because of the pain, but I just have to keep moving it and messing around with it.  I slept whole lot today.. i got up at 11 then was just  hanging out and i think i went back to bed round 2 and slept until 6. its 1030 right now and I'm thinking i may not make it past 11...

Surgery went well.  The damage wasnt as bad as the drs thought it was going to be... I had a partial tear (they cleaned that up) and then they also took part of another ligament to reinforce the damaged ligament.  I do have pins in my wrist and a soft/half cast on right now.  on friday i get my hard cast (and I need to pick the most fantastic color(s) when I do go.  After I get my hard cast on it'll be on for 6-8 weeks then ill go back in and get my pins removed.  From there, i'm not sure whats going to happen.. how long i'll be unable to do full lifts or overhead stuff...

I dont think the magnitude of recovery/limitations I'll have have hit me yet,  Ellyn has given me some mental training to start working on.. so i guess it's time to get started with my training and get better.  I've said this before, but.. I've gotta be good at something... so here i go. getting better today...
