Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
Anyone get the plate number of the bus that hit me yesterday? Last night was a super painful night, and today I feel like I’m bruised all over. My thighs and hips just ache. Ptooey! I don’t even have anything interesting to write (I still need to write my “day of” surgery post, just for people who keep finding my blog for herniated disc search terms), as all I’ve done is watch tv, read, sleep, etc. Although, we did go out on Tuesday. My big trip out in the car, to drive one block to the grocery store and Starbucks. We desperately needed chlorine for the pool (a dark green pool is bad, right?), so Leigh-Ann and I took a little trip out. Except for feeling a bit queasy in the check-out line (it was warm in the store), I did okay. It hurts my back to sit in the car, but only because the seat pushes against my incision. I took a pillow, so it was a softer push against the incision, but it still didn’t feel very good. But, it was only a block to the store, so it wasn’t horrible. It was kind of weird being out in the world and actually seeing other people. Plus, everyone moves so fast in the grocery store, as if they didn’t have surgery and weren’t worried about running into people. Hrumph.

Feel better, take care…
