Gonna suck when @rmoltis goes back to work. I enjoyed having him on when I'm at work. Gets quiet around here on afternoons haha
I'll still pop in in the morning before work, and all evening after work until bed.
I tell ya it's been nice having someone on the boards to chat with late at night I feel ya @incogneato . It's been nice.
My goal is back to work end of Jan or end of Feb.
Things get better every day/week.
It's been a long slow road to recovery.
But I've been walking, driving, carrying things (up to 30-50lbs so far carefully). Going out more shopping, eating etc.
I think the work involved in gardening helped me recover. By motivating me with my passion to do the work. It helped me slowly train myself back into the swing of things.
I mean you'd be surprised how much of your core and groin you engage when leaning over a soil bin mixing by hand.
Or having to pull 10+ lb pots in and out of the tent after watering (started 2 weeks after surgery extremely cautiously)
Or shaking up my nutrient jug. Starting and stopping the mass of forward and backward moving liquids definitely engages your core.
I can shower alone again, put pants on, shoes on.
My vitality is slowly starting to return. I probably won't see larger gains until a year or more out from surgery.
I'll be a part of this forum for a long time.
