It's been a long time since I've eaten THIS well, consistently. I did a bunch of shopping before my surgery, but I'm also constantly being fed. Friends and family have made pork chops, pot roast, meatloaf, spaghetti with meatballs, and more. I have tons of fruit, spinach (for important iron), and snacks, my favorite of which are the various Kozy Shak tapioca, rice pudding and chocolate pudding. Me happy!
E also has a new toy that she is very excited with -- a VitaMix. It's what she uses to make her magic potions. I am regularly being presented with odd green brews that include but are not limited to pistachios, collard greens, coconut, carrots, and who knows what else. I know her intention is awesome -- to make sure I get all my healing nutrients. But there is something very exorcist-like about these shakes, heh.
I REALLY overdid it the past two days. So I talked about what I did on Friday. Yesterday was my brother's birthday, and we went to my mom's house to celebrate it. I got ready -- showered, did my hair, and then had to clean my own personal throne for the time at another house (my toilet riser 'cause I can't get up from a regular toilet). I think I pulled a muscle in my butt, or at least really stressed it out. I can barely walk now without pain. So that's a big bummer.
It also tells me that I'm not quite ready to integrate back into my regular life yet, which is very frustrating. I'm reminded that I can't walk far at all, that I can't sit in a regular chair for very long at all yet, and that I get tired pretty quickly. I most certainly am getting better every day. When you feel better, you want to do more. But it's very important to not do TOO MUCH when you feel better because it can give you quite a set-back.
Today I am not doing anything stressful at all. It's another day of sedentary recooperation. Tomorrow I'll try my first day of work from home, which I'm rather looking forward to.
Okay, back to another episode of Survivorman on the Science Channel! :)
