Walking - Rehab/Recovery Day 1. Per doctor's orders I went for a walk after returning home from Philly today. Was supposed to walk 1 mile, but was a little long.

Lots of discomfort and downright pain at times during the last 24 hours, but I actually felt pretty good for most of this walk. Hopefully the post-op pain / trauma will pass in the next several days while I follow the PT and walking recommendations to limit scar tissue formation.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Bret. Sounds like you are moving about, which is good.

Apparently the body doesn't like being cut open!

I'm sure you'll apply the same rigor, commitment, and discipline to your rehab that you do to everything else in your life. :-)

Good luck.
