First 5 days in the hospital

I don’t think spending time in a hospital as a patient is ever fun. Besides having surgery and being in a decent amount of pain, you completely get taken out of your daily patterns and bodily rhythms like sleeping, eating, exercise, etc. I couldn’t wait to get home and get back to some normality.

The first 5 days in the hospital for me consisted of managing pain, doing 15 minute sessions of bone loading, taking meds, and trying to get more than 2 hours sleep which never happened. Not my idea of a good time, luckily I had some visitors and my wife was there every opportunity she had.


Carolyn caught me in a rare moment of resting
The doctors probably would have advised against this but i was losing my mind a bit and needed to move a little.
