The Little Loop

I just returned from a walk around the little loop - just a short 15 minute stroll through the neighborhood. It was great to get out.

We visited the doctor this morning. He cleaned things up a bit and suggested that I try to ease back into a regular sleep pattern, avoiding sleeping all day long. In my case, I'm going to avoid being a zombie all day long and try to concentrate the sleep during the night, if at all possible.

In addition, I'm going to switch to over the counter Tylenol and Ibuprofen, away from vicodin. The vicodin makes me tired, groggy and slow, none of which can be good for the healing process.

With regard to food, I'm drawn to sweet drinks (with protein powder) and ensure. Soups do not yet appeal to me, but I'm hopeful that will change soon.
