Still recovering
Aug. 24th, 2004 01:45 amI'm having my three to four minutes of sitting now. Ahhh. I found out from my surgeon last week that I have at least three more weeks of this. I also found out what happens when I ride in a car after two weeks of no car. It was a nightmare of car sickness. By the time we got to the doctor's office I was miserable; by the time we got home I was throwing up. It didn't help that I had to lie down in the back of the van, and every time my dad put on the brakes I would slide up and whack my head on the back of the seat. It just keeps getting better and better!
Anyway, I now have Dramamine to go with all my other post op pharmaceuticals.
You don't really think about how important sitting is until you can't do it. At least, I didn't. I mean, I knew no computer games, no internet, no driving, stand up to eat, etc. But right now, I really need to cut my toenails. It's a good thing that I can't go anywhere right now, because I can't wear shoes because of my toenails. I used my three minutes of sitting time yesterday to cut two of them. I'll cut two more tomorrow. It'll take me, hmm, let's see, ten days to finish. Then it'll be time to start all over again.
Okay, done with the sitting time!
