Plus, Angelique is quite nice to deal with, if you have some small favors to ask, she can help you out.

Im doing alright, mike expects me to be able to bend 30 degrees more by next Monday and I’m truly motivated(questioning myself) by that....
I’m now 2mm taller! Took a shower today which is problobly a bad idea cuz Im getting reddish around few incisions, don’t know why that nurse told me to do so.
My right leg is getting real tight, can’t bend over 80 degrees now... will work on it
I got 10 hours sleep last night, feeling bit slow today, maybe I should start to get up around 8 am even on weekends... was gonna sleep around 10:30pm but I watched new episodes of modern family, young Sheldon and the Big Bang... pretty happy though
I’m kinda worried that my legs have been consolidated cuz I don’t really feel like they are broken apart, maybe just my thought
My feet have been swollen since last night, it’s around my ankle as well, called Paley Institute today and was told to buy a pair of compression socks and wear them in the day time. Also I still need to place ice packs near my femurs at night.
*just remembered I should have taken silicon 5 times a day... only started yesterday

You'll notice that your flexibility begins to increase after the surgical effects begin to wear off. Enjoy the sleep! Most of us CLL'ers complain (including myself) on how we can only sleep 2 - 4 hours a night, max. If sleeping is coming natural to you; really treasure that.You're not consolidated! Have you tried walking on the nails at all?

Good to know that:) I can sleep whenever I want to and normally it’s 10 hours sleep if it’s not pt day as mine is always scheduled at 8am, just sometimes I gotta get up and pee...
I walk a lot everyday and it could be the reason for my swollen feet.
I went to target today to get a comfy pillow, compression sock, a roll and some other daily stuff.
* I only took one actexxxxxx (can’t remember the name, it’s the same as Tylenol) pill this morning for shower. I do feel pain actually, but somehow I can ignore it as it’s only at 2-3 level.

Are you using the walker, crutches or are you just walking around like nothing ever happened to you? lol

I have to use the walker, going to buy a protection glove for my poor hands, still have duck ass but better than first week. Actually I think my gait is incorrect so it’s the first thing I gotta ask mike next Monday.
*i also went to Foodtown today so if anyone saw a girl with a walker yeah that’s me
*forgot to have the silicon again.... have to take twice now
*i think the reason that I’m able to sleep well is taking vitamin D 10000 everyday at 9am.
*after my advice, my mother took vitamin D 5000 per day(the day I got it from gardens pharmacy) She said she can be really sleepy around 9-10pm and she began to have deep sleeping, only side effect is that sometimes she feels it’s harder to get up in the morning...

Okay, for Duck Ass.... Mike will talk to you about it; and from what I understand it is because of the post surgery, weakened glutes, and then the tight quads and hip flexors. The walker is great for safely building back those leg muscles.
Here is a good video to attack Anterior Pelvic Tilt (or Duck ass!)...it will go away; so its nothing to worry about. Pick out a few of these...and here is another easy way to lose it...when you're in resting mode...flex your butt and your abs. I'm curious to know what Mike says to eliminate the duck ass! I'm in need of some tips from him. I have the APT....working on it...

Video 3: Here is how you should sit....while you have the Duck Ass....APT

Thanks for these explanations and videos 
I will watch them later and try to correct my posture.
He actually mentioned that I should walk like before surgery, anyways will let you know.

In the week of the surgery, how did you change your clothes, or take a shower, or make number 2? Did you need help for that? How do you evaluate your autonomy to day to day ordinary activities?
