I am sick and tired of sitting in the house!!!!!  I have to wait 8 weeks before I can do any kind of physical activity, and its only been 3 weeks since my surgery.

I'm bored as hell, and want to do something.  Jessi's car is STILL broke down, so she is STILL taking my car to work.  The only thing that I can do is walk around the apartment complex, but the heat index has been around 100 everyday so thats not happening much!

The main thing that is keeping me off of my feet is a pain in my side (literally).  I'm guessing that it is a tendon since the pain is constant.  I had to sleep in my recliner last night because the pain was so bad.  I was tossing and turning and was afraid that Jessi would wake up.

But overall I'm doing good.  everything is healing up nicely, I don't have much pain other than that listed above, and I am able to go places with no problems (well, when I have a car).  I was able to do 4 push ups the other day before the pain started, so thats a plus.  Actually, I might try to do some more now!

I am finally starting to heal up.  I can move around very easily and I can actually sleep in bed again (as opposed to my extremely uncomfortable recliner).

I went to my brother's house this weekend and slept on the couch both nights.  I had normal pains on Saturday, but I didn't even have to take any pain medicine on Sunday, and thats after drinking beer the night before and spending the night on a couch that is about 5 inches too short.

The doctor said that I can start lifting weights, etc after 8 weeks, so I currently have 5 1/2 left.  I plan on starting to walk around the apartment complex on Wednesday (after next doctor's appointment).

I am going bat shit insane right now due to the endless hours of sitting on my butt in the house, and so need to figure out how to be allowed to do something other than watch TV.  If I see one more crab pot, I might just kill someone.

And yes, that damn show is on as I type this.  And the remote is across the room.  Damn.
