It is so hard for me to judge when I'm overdoing, as the pain and fatigue don't show up at the time I'm doing something. I've always been active all day long and even into the night. Housework, yardwork, shopping etc. When "IT" finally hits me, I'm in crying, sometimes moaning or screaming pain. I hate being so inadequate, and I too hate using walkers, canes. crutches in public. Is that stupid or vain ? I sure relate to overdoing, because I want to be functionall and valuable as a human being. The surgeons should have red flags inserted in us that pops up to say, " Overdoing, pain, pain, pain will follow !"
Taking the ice packs with you is a great idea. We always take it in a cooler, in case we have car trouble, there is an accident holding up traffic or an unexpected detour. And, of course, take extra meds too.
