I am determined to speed my healing process as much as possible and have really built up my core strength by going on walks with Harper. In fact, our very first walk was a short and slow walk around the block with Grammylou and Aunt Summer the day we came home from the hospital. We went on the same walk a couple of times the next week, and though it was painful and exhausting, it was easier with each passing day.
Robin and I live exactly a mile from a great park that is next to a Whole Foods market. When the weather is nice, we enjoy walking to the market to do some light shopping and we always cut through the park.
We had been home about a week-and-a-half and I was going stir crazy, so we decided to take Harper on her first walking shopping trip. The first leg was great and it was great to get out of the house for longer than a 15-minute stretch. On the way back home, I learned that a two-mile walk less than two weeks out of major abdominal surgery was a little ambitious. Ouch!
