17 days later...



Completed my first 5K!!!! Not too painful and I made it 3rd in my age group. I have no idea how many women were in my age group (40-49), but I'll check eventually. Checked out our condo in AC. It was actually a relaxing time because Russ, Jake and I hung out in the condo while Jim took his mom out to the casino. I went to bed early and even forgot until late Sunday night that I had run 3.2 miles when my thighs became a little sore and I crashed on the couch. Rachel and her cousin Lavonne dropped by to use the condo to change and hang out a little. I can't wait to let her use it when she wants to spend the whole weekend with friends. The condo was great, convenient, mostly clean and had an awesome view of the inlet, Harrah's and the Water Club. Rachel advised me to use ice to reduce the fluid, which is another way of saying swelling on my rt side. So I did and by the time I saw Dr. Saunders today, it had gone down by 40%, but he asked if I wanted him to drain it and so I did and now it's all gone! I'll have pics tomorrow of the rt side "after" after I shower. Here's some before and 17 days after surgery.
