Pushed it a little too hard today!!!

Tomorrow is one week since I had my surgery. I have been going nuts just sitting around. I am used to getting up at 5am and hitting the road by 0630 and going crazy until I get home at 6pm. Now I am expected to sit around, elevate my legs and watch the view. NOT TODAY!!! Today I went up and down my stairs several times. I took a walk in the marsh behind my house. I barbque'd chicken for the family and I drove my car to the store. I finally got home at 8pm and big surprise, my leg is aching.... not quite throbbing, but close... So I am watching a movie, legs propped up on three pillows and I'm waiting for the pain meds to kick in... My wife says I'm "one tough dude!" (interpretation: stupid)
