But I had a good thanksgiving. I ate food, stuck...
I LOVE being able to grab something from my closet knowing it'll just fit. It really does make it so much easier to get out and go!
Congrats!
Why can't you do a whole lot now? 45 days post op you ought to be cleared for full exercising I would think.
