Speedy Recovery

Today, for the first time since surgery, I'm able to take normal sized steps, go up and down the stairs at a normal pace, and (this is big) cough, laugh, or clear my throat without any soreness in my abdomen! Yay!

Dick and I are going to try to go out for a longer neighborhood walk this afternoon.
I'll still be mindful not to push things too far, too fast, but I'm feeling really good about it.
