:lol:

I am so bad at being not well. Follow up is 1 month after surgery.

Stopping the pain meds was a good idea. Made me much more aware of when I was overdoing it.

I'll try doing gentle stretches throughout the day. Maybe just being in a multitude of positions will help, even if they aren't strenuous.

Yeah--you kinda go stir crazy. What you don't want to happen is adhesions.....(not to mention popping an internal stitch) that's why it's best to keep to walking and changing positions (carefully) right now. I learned this the hard way after my c-section. I was much younger and bounced back rather quickly.....mowed the lawn after 3 weeks .....guess what I developed?

After my 5 week follow-up (this time), I was cleared to do almost everything--so be patient and be a good patient

SILLIES - - I have been working out SO HARD at the gym - I think i've.......torn things..... am in SO much pain adn too old for this sort of activity............shoulder/hip/back - what in hell? it didn't USED to hurt this much when I worked out........... getting old SUCKS!

Gawd, ain't it the truf!

Think I'd be slowly backing toward the door if upon entering I saw metal stirrups affixed to his chest freezer........ . . . . ...

I've written 5 weeks of sick leave, but I'm set up to work from home, so I can extend that by doing part time from home, if I need to. Any longer than 5 weeks and it's my vacation time and heaven forbid I use that for lollygagging and not traveling.

[Jestgar]

A bit of cute for you.

Since I'm home, I've been leaving the door open so the cats can go out. Max doesn't go much farther than the porch, and Lefty doesn't really leave the yard, although he is fascinated with the green space behind my house. If I haven't seen Lefty for a while I'll go out and call him. He always comes running, and he seems to think that I'm calling him because I need his comfort. He runs up to me, stands up, puts one paw on my knee, and reaches the other up to be picked up.

It is unbelievably adorable.

Sillies - today, whilst minding my own business and at a stoplight......I had a sudden, quite pleasurable guffaw.....maybe an out-loud snort, really.......there was a big, shiny SUV in front of me.......and in small letters - maybe an inch tall - these words had been taped (quite professionally, I might add) on the back window:

CHILDREN OF THE CORN TAXI

Just the phunniest thing all day, I'm telling you

CHILDREN OF THE CORN TAXI

is one of the funniest things i have ever heard- must tell my sister as I'm willing to bet sh'd do this to her mini van (if she doesn't I will). Before she had kids, her old car had a bumper sticker that read "My Doberman could EAT your honors student"

Wait for it.......Judith has balls???????

OMG- thought the same thing too. GREAT (dirty) minds look alike!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

Hi everyone

. ....what day is it already?

I guess my brain's coming around a little . ...but still SO far from silly.

And been too tired to even make dinner sometimes.

Yesterday, at a lab for a blood draw (4th visit to do what should've been done in one visit - thyroid & CBC), I'm so ***** stupid, I forgot my own zipcode.

Far cry from the wordplay & perma-smile of days gone by.

When I'm incapable of laughter, or even an amused smile, it's .. .. ..argh depressing isn't quite the word . .. .irksome? .. ... maddening? . .. ..well it's just not fun to read the silly.

If I lost my sense of taste, would I bother seeking out favorite foods?

I can't tell if I'll EVER have as much fun conversing as I had every day of those 5 or 6 months last year.

Maybe I'll try to catch up late at night - brain sometimes a little better then.

[jerseyangel]

Aw Pataughmn..... .......you're gonna get this figured out and then your inner Silly will reappear. You just get yerself better and read along or don't read, whichever you need to do. We'll be here

[elye]

If I lost my sense of taste, would I bother seeking out favorite foods?

HI, PTAOUGHMHGMN!!

Um......doesn't everyone forget their postal codes on occasion??

That is a great comparative question, Ptaoughmghmn....I'm sure the answer would be NO, that you wouldn't be craving or even interested in delicious food were your taste gone. So, it's understandable that you have no desire to come into Sillyville when nuttin' seems phunny to ya....... .. . We understand, and hope that your true Silliness resurfaces and has us cackling away post after post. We've missed you! .. ...Sounds like you've been missing yourself.

I wanna Lefty!!

More about my doctor's house later..........quite an appointment.........

thought you'd like that one.......my, quite the house full, Beaverly! Angus must be so happy

and why in hell did you tell me about those goat lotions? You KNOW how tortured I am when I see something yummy and can't smell it............

I can't tell if I'll EVER have as much fun conversing as I had every day of those 5 or 6 months last year.

Oh Tom. This sounds like true depression and.......maybe something else is biologically wrong? I hope the blood work will reveal something.....I think help is needed. Sending a package your way.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am just soooooooooooo peevish.......angry.........furious........livid........HE IS A LYING, HORRIBLE PIG-MAN!!!!!!!!! You guys know who I'm talking about - that ba$tard who thinks he's a hero

So, went to my doc's house.

I did not have to crawl upon his freezer, as he doesn't do that kind of examination....just eyes, reflexes, BP, etc. It's more talking.... .a LOT of talking, going over blood sugar levels, trends and patterns, meds.....essentially, my life in an hour. His house is 100 years old, a huge, sprawling, gabled stone manse. I'm glad I did not have to do window duty....just too many of them. And I did hear a clothes dryer going in the background, so I kept wondering if I was going to have some folding to do.....

Ironing?? Bah! This I would refuse............

Folding might be good for your blood pressure...

[elye]

Gah! Thank gawd, I have superb BP....today it was 112 over 76, as per usual. Something, something, I don't have to worry about......!!

He did have to go and get his BP monitor from the kitchen, where his teenaged son and buddies were seeing how much, and how quickly, their numbers would go up after each successive espresso was pounded back.......

And.....he needed to renew my Eltroxin prescription, and could not find his scrip pad anywhere in his office. I'm quietly starting to wonder about that teenaged son of his, when his wife opens the office door and places the pad on his desk - - she'd used it to jot down phone numbers and appointment times while doing the reception work...... .. . . . . ..

It is an interesting atmosphere in which to be... . . . ..
