I pop Advil like M & M's, even before I injured my knee. So when the nurse called about my pre-op instructions, I was a bit taken back when she said NO ADVIL for 7 days before surgery.....Excuse me?! This is not going to be pretty. Looks like ice and wine are going to have to be substituted for my daily advil.
Went to the gym and had a great workout. A new playlist usually guarantees me a good one, but today I felt amazing! If I wasn't time crunched with the closing of the gym, I would have gone on for 6 miles on the elliptical. Maybe Wednesday which will be my last official workout before surgery. My workout looked like this today.
5.1 miles on the Elliptical
(3) 12 Step ups each leg
(3) 12 Modified Squats
(3) 12 Leg presses
(3) 12 Leg Curls
(3) 12 Leg Extensions
(3) 12 Inner Thigh Machine
(3) 12 Outer Thigh Machine
(6) 25 Crunches
(3) 12 Side Bends each side
I am officially wiped out....had a great time with the kids and extended family at the PMA Fall Festival yesterday. Changing the kids school was probably one of the most stressful things I have ever done. The rewards are worth it though. They're happy, I'm happy....makes life so much easier. Today was a productive day...lots of errands, the gym and home projects. Didn't you know that it is mandatory for all small home projects to be done before surgery?! The pending surgery has really kicked my OCD into overdrive. I am loving the results though, so no complaints here. 3 full days before my surgery and still a lot left to do....not too busy to squeeze in a last minute dinner out with some great friends though! I'm off to crack open that bottle of wine and ice my knee like the rockstar patient I am trying to be would! Advil? What Advil?!
