I am totally off narcotics now. It appears 2 Aleve a day are almost adequate.

At the health club, I got nausea from the pain of the rehab exercises. I used the elliptical for 5 minutes at 2.4 mph, with a little difficulty. I did 3 minutes on the treadmill, for the first time in over a year. Last was 5 reps on the chin assist, with not much assist. After a short talk with a friend, I returned home for second breakfast and the ice pack.

Went out at lunch. I brought the crutch along, but did not use it. I got by the rest of the day without it.

Does anyone know how to get surgical soap off? This new stuff is like spar varnish. It only seems to come off as my skin sloughs off.
