Quick update

Thank you all so much for all the good wishes on my recovery. It really meant a lot to me to have so many sweet comments!


Yesterday I went to the Doctor for my post operation follow-up.  They told me I was doing really well for having had the surgery only ten days ago. I have more flexibility at this point in my recovery than most people and I think that is due to the yoga classes (which ironically is where I got the knee injury.) My knee still hurts but not as much as it did early on. I am hoping to get back to exercising later this week. I am sure it will be slow going for a while. 


I have sure missed posting outfits. Quite honestly, I did not get dressed much at all last week. I stayed in my nightclothes as it was easier to get to the cooling pack which was ace bandaged to my leg. Yesterday I wore my yoga pants so that the Dr. could examine my knee easily. Most of my jeans are slim legs and don't pull up over my knee very well. If I am lucky, maybe I can get my DH to take an outfit photo today. 


Again, thank you all for the comments and emails I have received.  I feel so lucky to be a part of this wonderful blogging community!

  4. Debbi, glad to hear your recovery is going well. I lived in yoga pants for a few weeks after my hip replacement due to swelling. Just relax, and follow doctor's orders. We'll be here when you're ready to start posting outfits again!

  9. Glad to hear you're doing better.

    Yoga can be deceiving. The teacher, who's usually very limber and often young, makes it all seem effortless, but it is definitely possible to injure yourself.

    Will you have some PT once you're better? I hope you can get clued into moves that are easy on the repaired knee.

  10. Hooray for your progress! When I heard you were actually doing Yoga I was impressed, since it is very, very hard in my opinion. (I do lots of water aerobic, but never went back after just one hour of Yoga.) You must be in pretty good shape and used to working hard - both things that have probably made your recovery faster than most people's. Please add me to the group who said how glad we were to hear from you.

  14. I'm so glad to hear that you are on the mend. Relax and be comfortable in your house clothes-- sometimes it's nice to have an excuse! You'll enjoy dressing up that much more, when you're ready.
