Week 2 Retrospective

At the beginning of each retro its good to review the actions from next week.  Lets see how I did on the two from last week.

1. Define longer term milestones - I was too lazy to do the research that this required, so it rolls over to next week because I still think its important to have these goals.
2. Start keeping track of exercises - I did start recording the sets and reps in a spreadsheet, so I'm gonna count this one as done.  

So, I'm 1 for 2 for the first week's commitments.  Now, lets see what went well and what wasn't as great during week 2 after the surgery.

Went well:

• No more splint
• Finished pills
• Doc says all is going well
• Can walk without crutches or splint (sort of)
• I'm back home
• Doing exercises every day
• Keeping records of exercises
• Working from home

Could be better:

• Didn't define long term goals
• Walking is painful
• Different muscles are hurting all over
• Not stretching enough
• Hard to walk without a limp
• Haven't gone to work yet

Action Items:

• Define longer term milestones
• Dedicate more time to stretching

Hm... Looks like last week a lot revolved around exercises and walking.  In fact walking has been  on my mind a lot, so I am going to do a whole post just about that next.

Besides starting to walk, last week was a time to say goodbye.  They were very useful to me for a while, but finally this threesome had to go, and lets hope I'll never need them again:
