A day in the life…
Here’s my post-surgery recovery schedule:
5:30am - get up, stagger to the medicine cabinet to take pain meds because I feel like I was hit by a truck, then make coffee, eggs, toast and juice for my hubby who leaves pretty early (doing this makes me feel like I’m at least accomplishing something);
6:30am - 7:30am - make sure teens leave the comfort of their warm beds and get ready for the torture known as high school;
7:30am - 8:30am - drive teens to their respective high schools and swing by Starbucks for mommy’s morning fuel, all the while icing my belly;
8:30am - 10:00am - work from home on computer (sneaking in personal stuff, of course);
10:00am-11:00am - watch Price is Right, snack and rest;
11:00am to whenever - ice my belly, fall asleep watching a movie and wake up to some inane children’s show;
2:30pm to 4:30pm - work from home on computer, make sure something is going for supper;
5:00pm - pick up kids from baseball and/or play practice;
6:00pm to 7:00pm - rest more and ice belly more;
7:00pm - 10:30pm - watch something on television, maybe run an errand if I’ve rested all day long, do a load of laundry;
10:30pm - go to bed (again), ice belly
TK!
You left out ‘changing the look of my blog back’. What happened? Was it the sidebar thing or did I just hallucinate that?
Do you agree that the more mature we are the harder it is to bounce back from surgery?
Mutti! Hi! Interesting question. Do you mean “mature” as in wiser or just plain older?
boy that does read as rather rude…the latter…although I can’t bring myself to type it…I didn’t mean it as a shot at you…I was really talking about me. My son just had his wisdom teeth removed and by a day later was eating burgers. I remember laying in bed for three days heavily medicated and not eating much of anything.
Well, then we’ll label ourselves as mature, meaning wiser! I knew you meant it that way! This surgery has brought me to my knees in more ways than one. Yeah, I do also think that surgery gets harder the older you get.
