I am 2 weeks post op and just recently began walking

I feel like a failure....I haven't started walking until today and tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op. While I was in the hospital I walked a few times. When I got home I was so lethargic and was so absent minded that I just didn't get up and walk! I am now freaking out and am worried about getting or having a blood clot :( I am now walking 2x a day for 15 min each walk. I read the memorial page and read how some people died of embolisms a few weeks after their surgery. I am still not out of the woods and am very scared....I don't have a fever or anything. Just a bit of pain here and there but nothing major. Will I be okay??? Sorry for seeming so freaked out!
