Yesterday I got the green light to open up the brace to allow for 60 degrees of motion. And although I’m not to that point (yet), it will make things a lot easier. In fact getting around already seems to be a bit easier.
However, it’s time for me to tough it up. Because two things [...]

“Working from home” is a fantasy that many people have secretly thought about(if not desired). And over the past few weeks, my injury forced me into the opportunity to not only “work from home”, but to “work from home in the comfort of my own bed”.
How fancy, you say.
Well, it’s not all cupcakes and pj’s. [...]

Contrary to popular belief, there are a bunch of things one can do when recovering from injury. Things that actually build back self confidence and self esteem; Things that bring back a sense of accomplishment.
example 1: My freecell stats have improved since i’ve been laid up. I’m at a decent 72% winning average with a [...]

I’m finally feeling like things are getting better. Up until a couple of days ago, I was feeling antsy, annoyed, frustrated; and it felt as if it was going to be that way for a long time to come.
Although I can’t admit that those feelings have entirely disappeared, I can say that being able to [...]

While I am slowly getting back on my feet, I’m noticing there are a bunch of little dilemmas I am faced with.
For example, over the last few days I’ve been able to get myself up and around without crutches and it has been nice (No applause necessary thank you). But it’s a catch 22. It’s [...]

This past week was been a tough one. And the weird thing is: I haven’t been in much pain.
*ding* But come on, Paolo, isn’t that exactly what pain meds are supposed to do?!!
Well, I’ve actually backed off the meds -I only take em once or twice at night- and throughout the day I am able [...]

Today was a rough day. Let’s just get that out of the way.
Annoyed.
Cranky.
UNCOMFORTABLE!! 
I had popped some meds around 11.30pm last night and remember the wee hours of the morning being relaxing, and restfully dreamy, dozing in and out of sleep. I literally had some awesome karaoke dreams! But for some reason at around 7:30 am this [...]

it’s Monday, and I’ve been in bed for 3 days. I’m not sure if I am going stir-crazy from being forced to stay in bed, from (what seems to be) an endless amount of movies, or the nagging pain in the upper portion of my right butt. 
Could be the percoset to, but why blame the drugs?!?! 
The surgery went well- better [...]
