I had mostly a good day. Well, once I got up. But hey, my body needed the rest so I gave it what it needed. I’m getting better at that. I went to PT, which sadly was excruciating. My muscles in my back are really sensitive. I can’t sleep on my back. Sometimes just having a bra or a shirt on hurts. The ultrasound wand and the massage were horrible. Usually I get a chance to recover under the IR light. But since it was time for the clinic to close, I didn’t get it. I’ve considered turning the heat up and sleeping in the buff without blankets. The pain hasn’t gotten quite that bad, but bad enough to consider it.
I decided to try to find the awesome Korean restaurant I was at a few weeks ago. I’m amazed how close it is to the main road. I guess it seemed so far away because before I was coming at it from the other direction. I walked around, took some pictures. Then I went to the store, bought a light bulb, cat food (going to mix it 50/50 with the vet’s food) and a scale. I found one that will measure my weight. According to the scale, I’m down another kilo, but I don’t believe it. I think it’s within error of measurement (yes, I was a scientist, thank you very much).
Now I’m home. I threw in a load of laundry, and before this energy surge leaves me, I’m going to vacuum. I think if I can vacuum once a week, it won’t be so bad when I do have to mop. But really, I still need a cleaning lady. My sink is about 3 inches too low and I have to hunch over to do dishes. Thus, the dishes pile up. And when I do them, I’m in pain for a couple of days.
I am glad for good days. All of us, but especially you, need a break.
