We are here for you. All I can tell you is to just take things one day at a time. Do what you can do and don't feel bad. I don't know what you do for work but if you are on your feet alot then you are walking which is exercising. Let your body get use to "working" and then you can focus on what other exercises you can fit into your day.

**Hugs**

Granny speed is fine Tim.  Impressive that you are trying to get in physical activity.  It will make a big difference after surgery, when you are used to being active now.  Healthy habits take time to set in.  I know that you will prevail.

I understand being flat footed.  Do you wear arch supports and sturdy shoes?  I can tell the difference when I have proper footwear on.  If you stand in one place, work usually provides antifatigue mats to stand on.

Congrats on lining up a job.  Does wonders for self esteem.  The walking you do at work burns calories too.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.  We are here for bouncing ideas off.  Take this one day/step at a time.  The best is yet to come.
