day8://post.operation.check.up
Greatly relieved to learn pain levels are normal (though very intense).
Dr: right quadricep is GONE and I have to retrain the muscle.
Though physically about the same size, after an 8 weeks vacation it no longer works.
Surgeon: greatest risk is that I skimp on the physical therapy.
andy: dedicated perpetual motion @38 degrees.
I am so excited for the healing process that the pain literally feels like less of an obstacle.
I still have the intellectual prowess of a sesame street character. I suspect my humor is increasing, though. Believe it or not, I have taken over 120 percocet in 8 days which is *significantly LESS* than the rate I was prescribed. Unbelievable. and I am still in pain. all I can do is laugh and call bullshit.
Today was a good day.
I might take a walk (*cough* with crutches) to the water fountain in my yard.
