One week Post PAO

I'm seeing improvement every day. It is amazing how much can change within one day. Sometimes I am in extreme pain when the pain medication wears off. But overall I'm seeing a decrease in pain. I'm getting around better and becoming more and more independent! Yesterday I got completely ready for the day ALL BY MYSELF! (with the help of my boyfriend getting the items from around the house for me of course). This included washing up, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed in pants! I was even able to lift my left leg on my own! I'm so happy to be in such a good spot one week after surgery. Last Monday I would have never imagined I would feel this good!
