I officially started back to work after taking 2 weeks off.  I could have pushed it and gone back after 1, but I feel like I really needed that second week to somewhat get back to normal since I spent most of the first week anchored to the cryocuff and spaced out on pain meds.  My mom was also here so I didn't plan to start until she left. I am lucky because I work from home and on a computer so my job is not physically demanding.  However I will admit that I have felt pretty drained at the end of each day.  I am sure my posture at my desk is somewhat crazy since I am typing two-handed with my sling on, and this has caused a lot of tension in my back.  

 I finally started sleeping in a bed again after being on the couch for so long. The couch was just easier in the beginning I thought.  I have also been walking the past few days.  It has been such nice weather that it is so hard to stay away from the outdoors.  My walks are at snail pace but it is better than nothing.  I am going to try the gym next week.  No weights but some slow stationary bike should be nice.

Two weeks down and many more to go....
