More progress

April 23: I'm making progress with the recovery. I only take Ibuprofen at night and the incision pain is now reduced to feeling like a bad sunburn. My mom and sister visited us this past weekend. We took an outing to the Everett Home and Garden Show. This is only the second time I've been out of the house in four weeks. It went well - I just had a little pain later in the evening from sitting upright in the car and at lunch. Walking doesn't seem to inflict any pain so I'm up to about a mile a day now.
