Another milestone, hooray! Went in to work today for a few hours. It was much harder to get out of the house than I expected but it was great to get out of the house. Got down the stairs OK and it was nice to see everyone at work.

Then we had a bit of a surprise party for Dave’s birthday. Pizza and friends — not a bad way to celebrate 35!

Today’s Stats
Stopped taking Advil every 8 hours; doing well.

Learned Today
Turns out out Dr. Schena (orthopedic surgeon I have an appointment with on Tuesday) does all of his surgeries at New England Baptist Hospital which is nationally recognized as one of the best orthopedic hospitals in the country. Thanks to Holly for the recommendation! And luckily, it’s not on my insurance’s list of “high-cost” hospitals.
