I’m back at work today for the first time. Woo hoo! It hasn’t bothered me too much, so far. My sternum is still healing, so it still hurts when I move my arms a lot. But I finished up taking the Darvocet last week and I’m just taking Ibuprofen for pain. I can sleep a on my side for a bit before it hurts, which is really cool, because I can’t stand sleeping on my back. I’m still not getting the amount of sleep I really need because of sleeping on my back, but it’s better and in a couple weeks I’ll feel great.
Last week I visited Dr. Beckman and he gave me the all-clear to drive, come back to work, exercise and pretty much anything else. I can’t lift more than 25 pounds or mow the lawn. Or do anything like ride roller coasters.
So maybe next summer we can visit Holiday World. If you haven’t checked out their blog, it’s hilarious. The woman who writes is is their PR person and she’s very smart and funny. A good advertisement for their amusement park.
