My surgery went well Tuesday morning. I'm feeling pretty good, not yet itching to work out (this is a godsend), and being gentle with myself. My goals for this week are to keep resting. I was told "at least a week" with no exercise, which puts me at Wednesday as the earliest day back if I want to do upper body stuff or core. I'm not going to force it and will wait until I am completely lusting after lat pulldowns.
day 44 in a row of healthy coping skills except a small slip on day 31!
I lifted on Friday and Sunday - the former at the gym and the latter mostly core work at home with the minimal equipment I have here. It felt good. :-)
Friday was also unfortunately a tough day mentally so I'm on day 51 of healthy coping skills in a row minus two days (day 31 and I think Friday would have been day 48).
My big news is that I had a peer-reviewed publication accepted today!
goals for this week - keep up the healthy coping and exercise as allowed. I have a checkup on Thursday to see how my foot is healing.

If you're injured and need some sympathy, PM me and I'm very happy to write back.
