Incision and mobility

So I saw my stitches the other day for the first time.  Freaked me out.

A quick note about mobility.  Today I managed the following stuff without too much hassle:
* plugging something in - took a step and a half leg-sqat
* putting on socks - brought my legs up and had the sock wrapped around my non-thumb fingers
* putting down the toilet seat.  Sorry Dear it took so long.

In the hospital they said "No BLT - no bending, lifting, or twisting".  And I could bend/twist absolutely nothing on day 1 without miserable pain.  However, each day brings about 1 degree of mobility (maybe).  So right now I can do stuff like reaching over my shoulder without throwing out my back.
