Well, things are slowly improving and it is getting easier to do things. I still get pretty winded walking places but managed to go to both of my younger girls' soccer games this morning and then was able to sit through our adult session of stake conference this evening (2 hrs long). My biggest issue with going places is that I don't have a lot of clothes that are comfortable to wear for me right now. I still have quite a bit of weight/fluid/post-surgery stuff around my mid-section (I look pregnant...) so my clothes need to be really loose around the waist. I think with my last surgery I still had maternity clothes that I think I wore afterwards. Unfortunately I have been trying to lose some weight recently and have been getting rid of clothes that were too big.

Unfortunately my old back/hip/leg pain came back last night so I wasn't able to get a lot of sleep because I just couldn't get comfortable. I may have to start taking some of the stronger pain medications - which I have been able to avoid up to this point. The heating pad helps some with the pain. I finished both of my antibiotics today so hopefully whatever bacterias I had are gone now. My left leg - especially around the ankle area is still swelling up some and it is kind of annoying.
