Just another day

I guess I should feel great. My surgery did go well and my pain has subsided alot in the last few weeks. I don't have to take as many pain pills. But...damn it I am gaining so much weight. I will be so glad when I can be active again. I just hate this...I feel trapped in my own body. Soon, hopefully I will be well again. I will be able to walk and do things without feeling exhausted...my legs feel so heavy and tired when I walk. I drove for the first time yesterday. Only a couple of miles and then shopped for about 15 minutes at the grocery store. Wow! It just about wiped me out. I feel like such a invalid. I feel so bad for anyone who is permanently handicapped. I hope I am not. It takes months to see how successful this will be.
