We're continuing to work on pain control today in anticipation of heading home tomorrow or Saturday.

I'm going to increase my physical activity by about 30% today over the previous couple of days. My goal is to increase every day. Every day won't be 30% but I will do more than the previous day.

Once home I plan on wearing my UP24 band again so that we can track my daily activity and chart it over time. 

While still being finalized, it's looking like the brain surgery will be either September 2nd or 3rd. We won't know how much recovery time I'll need until after the surgery since we're not sure how much of my motor skills and speech may be disturbed.
