A very pleasant Sunday morning here in my neck of the world, a day stretching out with exercise this morning followed by trivia tonight. Husband is already gone, out there jocking out with my brother. I've been able to make coffee, scan the morning newspaper, and throw in a load of laundry as my contributions thus far. Again promising myself I'll get out there and do some weeding as it didn't happen yesterday. I ended up at the fabric store buying some plasticized material (the kind you see on outdoor picnic tables) to make a cover for our firepit--the old one was in tatters). I am definitely not a good seamstress so it's kind of wonky looking, but it fits more or less and will get the job done--plus way less expensive then buying a new cover from a big box store!
I am amused by all the comments above, urging me to slow down and rest up before Wednesday's surgery. This seems just crazy to me as I realize that post-surgery, after a day or two once I emerge from the fog, I will start getting restless and crabby that I won't be able to race around. Doctor's orders last time, which I'm sure will be repeated this time, will be "take it easy--no exercise for 6 weeks other than a bit of walking". Forced inactivity is hard for most folks, I suspect, and while I promised myself last time to be patient and try to get into a more Zen-like state, I often failed miserably and felt cranky and mutinous as a result. So, I feel as if I'm stockpiling activity in advance of surgery at the moment and, really, I'm not doing all that much! Plus, this time around it's sitting that really aggravates my hip pain, not buzzing around. But, still, appreciative of your concerns and postings on my thread!
Soooo hating this nasty nasal ointment twice a day. It's not bad at night as I'm on my way to sleep, but I put it in a couple hours ago and it just feels like my nose is running constantly and yet I can't really blow my nose as I'm assuming this stuff is in there doing something positive. Ugh, anyone use this stuff and have ways of coping other than whining about it as I'm doing? I realize it's just for a few more days but so irritating!
