Start Where You Are

Since walking is all I'm supposed to do right now, that's what I'm doing.
It was being a runner that mattered, not how fast or how far I could run. The joy was in the act of running and in the journey, not in the destination. We have a better chance of seeing where we are when we stop trying to get somewhere else. John Bingham, No Need for Speed: A Beginner's Guide to the Joy of Running

The extent of my exercise is short jaunts around the block with DH holding the dogs leashes and me cruising alongside. I was able to get down and do some ab work and was even able to get up on my own. It's difficult not being able to use your arms, but having decent core strength is working in my favor on this recovery part.
I let the pain get a little ahead of me today though. Only took a couple doses of tylenol and found myself just sitting on the couch holding myself still and steady while the pain began to build. I let it go and took a pain med and within 30 minutes I got some relief. I guess I just need to allow myself to use what I need to get through this. It does feel like barbed wire under my arms.
I just know that each day will feel a bit better. That's what I'm counting on.
