As noted in earlier posts, life for us has been downright stressful this past week. Yet I've been a really good girl the past three weeks. No lifting or carrying anything (unfortunately, though, this has also included my cute boys). No vacuuming. No driving for two weeks. No housework. Basically, I've just slept, walked around, eaten, read books, or sat and painted the mural in the office waiting room.
Pain meds were discontinued about four days ago. And I had only been taking them in the evenings the preceding week. I have felt stronger this week, and have finally been able to give up the forever long midday naps.
Alas, I think I over did it today. I have felt so good that its hard to remember to take it easy. But I'm paying for it tonight. My back really hurts and I have quite a bit of lower tummy cramping and pain. I didn't think I had done too much, but evidently I was wrong. Guess I'm back to being 'lazy' again. Oy. It is so hard to see all that needs to be done at the Strawhouse and our house and not be able to do any of it. Frustrating!
