So today might have been the best day so far, post m/c. I actually got outside and got something accomplished. My poor DH had started a landscaping project (at my request) on the very day that we had to go to the ER for the m/c. Needless to say, I have not been able to help him for a week and the project has been strewn all over the front lawn. We finally got up early today and finished our project. I might have worked harder that I should have - lifting heavy bags of soil, etc. - because I feel a little bit of pain in my lower abdomen now. But I just couldn't help it. It felt so good just to get out there and do something. I was actually able to enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful day that we had.
Just wanted to write something nice for a change. Good night ladies!
Re: Productive day
It's amazing how much better you feel when you've returned to "normal" activities. I had let the garden go. Now, those weed know who is boss again. I had left the house cleaning to my DH. Last night, I felt the sweet appreciation of victory of having made and cleaned up from supper, of doing something normal.
It's worth it isn't it? Even if I over did it and my body aches - it doesn't ache because of the m/c. It aches because I did something normal. And it's a good, comforting ache.
yeay for productivity! i know yesterday i was throwing a pity party for myself and then got tired of it and decided to actually DO something around the house... i wasn't comfortable laying down or sitting, so i might as well be uncomfortable taking my dog for a walk and running errands!
i'm glad to hear about your good day... here's to many more!
