So, with the whole surgery thing, I really only took about a day and a half of “work days” off. Four days after surgery I was in a board meeting. What I have been doing well is working from my bed. I have my fancy pillow with the arm things and I prop myself up at a 135 degree angle, or more if I shove more pillows in there. And that is my body’s allotted healing time. 🤣

I have been trying to be reasonably careful the times that I am out and about and not in my bed resting.

I was happy that today only had one appointment outside of the house.

All was well, until this. Yeah . . um . . my tummy does not want me bending in two and smooshing in to a crawl space. But, I had to. The furnace and water heater were here. I got my pictures. But my tummy was MAD!

Then I got in my car and started driving. Turning to look for cars has been a bother. And doing it after the crawl space smooshing had a very large and sudden pain. It actually had me pretty worried as my drive home was all pretty uncomfortable and painful. But, since being home I have been a good girl and resting, moving as little as possible. I’m actually behind on my computer work now as I took a nap and did prioritize my healing over work (yep, I see where if my priorities had been better earlier today the pain would have been much less).

Tonight I am thankful that the evilness of the awkwardly accessible crawl space seems to have not done anything permanently bad. I did consume a bit of pain medication. But, I think I’m good. Now I am just sore and swollen. But the large pain has left! Hooray!

Here is my formal apology to my tummy! I didn’t mean to hurt it!!
