JudithKD I LOVE the year in review thing...how cool! Thx robots!
that my incision is healing well, which I expected.
But that I still shouldn’t drive a car for another few weeks, which I didn’t. Apparently, what I have to worry about now is overdoing it, which can give me a hernia. So no moving boxes from point a to point b and no driving!

Waynesworld Merry Christmas, fellow 43Thingers!
Sheesh, you take it easy, now, ok, JKD? You sound like one of the people who can’t do nothing for very long. You always have to be picking up and doing something. Well let yourself be spoiled and let your body heal itself!

It’s part of my job! I pick up box 1 with books a, b, c, .....aa in it. The books are cataloged and priced. That’s what I do for lucre. Or at least it’s what I did until 1/16 when they cut a hole in my belly!
I haven’t cataloged a book in two weeks…seems really weird!
I’m trying to let things be really, but I’m getting bored with always having a driver (DH) not being able to walk much and not able to do much either. I don’t enjoy being in pain either, so I’m trying really, but it’s hard to not want to go back to my life, yes?
Believe me, every night my body tells me if I’ve overdone it, and how much. Some nights are NOT good. Others are just achy.
I’m working on it, honest.
Thanks for your concern—

RuthG wishes you the merriest of Christmas revelries!
I’m glad you’re heeding the doctor’s strictures, even though life is a bit boring at the moment. Recovery is a pain because it takes so long! But you’ll be so glad later.
Hugs to you, dear friend. I hope all the aches fade away very soon & that your normal energy returns.

I exchanged emails with the editor of the magazine I work for every now and again, I thought I’d missed the deadline for this month’s issue (I have a review pending.) but it’s next weekend instead.
This happened after I’d responded to Wayne above!
I had finished the project I took with me to the hospital, the vegetable garden seed order, yesterday. I’d forgotten about the review. So, glory be, I have something new to do!
I feel fine, if I don’t do something stupid, until about 6 pm at which point it’s as if someone just opened the tap and let my energy out. The first week wasn’t so bad, I just slept.
The past few days I’ve been running helltapes, for some reason, so I haven’t slept until around 1 a.m. both nights. I’m tired and should go to bed. If I can get to sleep that will be great!
Being patient with myself has NEVER been my strong suit! Neither has going slow, meditating, etc.
I guess this is my new task, I have to learn to relax more, let things just be more, including me.
Many hugs—
Judith
