Well, I'm on the upswing... to the tune of not taking the pain meds every six to eight hours - now it's every 10 - 12!
I sit in my living room for awhile, and then think I have energy. So I decide to use the energy. And I get up, and come over to my laptop (which gets better wi-fi coverage in the kitchen) and see if anyone has emailed me or commented on my blog.
That checked, and having used all my accumulated energy, I slink back to the chair in the living room.
It's really hard to sit in the living room and listen to the kids playing outside. I want to be outside playing with them as well! Yesterday Tucker was crying and I didn't care if it popped every staple out of place as I pulled him up on to my lap. (Thankfully, it didn't :)
Lest I think of all the things that I wish I could do, I keep trying to think of thankfuls:
* Four get well cards sitting on my table
* Two bouquets of flowers
* Season One of House on DVD :)
* Emails and phone calls
* Jill popping in during quiet time
* Walking a-l-l the way to the mailbox today!
* Sleeping on my side last night
There are more, but my energy tank just started dinging, saying I needed to get back to the chair.
