Entry 464 — A Follow-Up Visit to the Surgeon
I saw my surgeon yesterday. He was very pleased with my progress. But he said it’d be three or four more months before I would be a non-gimp. He had told me before the operation that it’d take two to five months for me to reach that point, so I felt I’d make it in two with hard work, if the operation went well. I’ve worked hard and the operation went well but am not considered likely to be able to do more than I’m doing now, which is walk fast in a straight line, and take care of myself in my home. Sure doesn’t give me much motivation to continue going all-out on my exercise program.
Meanwhile, my old lethargy is still with me. I’ve done a little work on my Shakespeare book since getting home, but not much else. I’m hoping I’m just suffering from the stress any change in one’s circumstances tends to cause, even a good change like getting home from a care facility.
