day 46

Good day. I did light walking (with the bad canines, of course) with weight bearing and then went to the gym. Of course, I wanted to do an amazing workout, but forced myself to take it easy. I did the bike for about 12 minutes, then did weights - upper and lower body. All in all, 45 minutes. The bike felt great. It seemed to flex my foot in a really gentle way and I think that doing that 3 days a week will help my foot a lot. I'd like to do it more, but I hate asking people to take me all over the place, so am trying to do the minimum of asking for rides. It felt great just to get out and do something normal! I was careful with the weights and did about 1/2 the weight of what I was doing pre surgery. Then I came home and made a huge salad so I'll be able to munch on it for a few days, fed the dogs and collapsed! I can't believe how tired I am. The foot is not too swollen, but I have massaged it about three times today and iced it right after the gym. I think I can do 20  minutes on the bike next time. Every time I want to push it, I have to remember that 2nd day of weight bearing when I pushed it too much and was pretty much down the entire next day. Moderation.
