Post-Op Day #30 - Roughin It On The Riverbed!

I forgot to update this yesterday so I'll do it now.

Saturday night I had to stay over at my clients home to look after her dogs, Angus & Harley. I sure got some exercising going up and down the stairs! LOL Oh well, I managed to do it safely so that was the main thing.

I stayed there till about 1pm and then Adam picked me up so we could get the day started together.

My ankle felt pretty darn good all things considered ---driving Saturday, up and down stairs, hobbling around the back yard throwing balls for the dogs! HA HA!

Adam and I decided to head to North Bend for lunch at Jay Berry's then we drove down the I-90 a bit to the Olallie State Park. The weather wasn't too bad so we decided to go down one of the short trails that lead to the river bed. Ok, this was highly amusing, getting down to the river bend took a LOT of navigating soft sand, rocks, roots......haha, I was laughing so much and that sucks because I always get weaker when I laugh. Adam was spotting me the whole way down and I managed to get down without any problems.

The water looked so nice, I love the sound of the water rushing over the rocks. Adam took a couple pictures of me so I'll upload them.

It started to sprinkle so we head back home for a bit, so I put my leg up to give it a rest.


I took my 7.5mg of Warfarin at 8pm, last day of that amount till the morning INR test!

Around 8:30pm we went for a nice roll around the block during a break in the rain ---the air smelled so good ---between the fresh rain smell and the blossoms on the trees....ah, so nice!

I wanted some icecream so Adam rolled me to the store and we grabbed 2 really cute single serving sized Vanilla Bean icecreams -- OH MAN, tasty stuff.

On the way home I asked Adam if he wanted to stop by the local pub for a beer(for him) and so we stopped in there for about a 30mins and watched Spiderman on the big screens HA HA!

I was tired by the time we got back so I just lounged on the couch watching a show I like, Brothers and Sisters.

I think I went to bed around 11pm because I knew I had an appointment at the Issaquah ACC to get my INR checked at 8am.

Anyways, Im really happy about how my ankle felt this weekend, esp because I had to do a bunch of extra stairs(they have about 16 stairs, I did them about 8 times) and driving the car.

Thanks for checking in
