Today, I went for my first drive in over three weeks! Wow, it is great to have some of my independence back. This is of course after my back surgery just over three weeks ago.

It is quite amazing how you don’t see much change from day to day, but when I look over a few days, I can really see the recovery. Three weeks ago I was stuck in bed, but now I can drive (ok, just to the shop and back, I can’t drive any distance yet), but I am at the stage of recovery where I can be up and about as much as I like, but I must just not take things too aggressively!

It is so exciting to start becoming more mobile (it might sound like a small thing, but you try staying in bed for three weeks).

Three more weeks and I will be back to normal (and back to work – guess I can’t have everything).
