Stir crazy

So I'm sitting here on my butt recovering from surgery.  I'm feeling fine by the way, but I have strict orders not to lift anything over ten pounds for six weeks.  This is frustrating for me because I've got things I want to do around the house, and nobody is home to help me, because M and B are at work.  I did get B to remove all the pollen laden furniture off the front porch this morning so I could hose everything down.  Now I have a clean porch, but all my furniture is sitting in the side yard because B didn't have time to put it back before he had to leave for work.  I'm finding myself sitting here looking at things and wondering, "is that less than ten pounds, can I lift it, move it, clean it, paint it?" This is going to be a long six weeks.

Don't look at it as a problem - but as an opportunity. Your Doctor has effectively told you to sit down, relax and catch up on your reading!

Isn't that what you wanted to do?

[grin]

Oh, do be very careful...You obviously need to take good Post-Op care....It might give you the opportunity to do some things that don't require lifting but that will be just as satisfying....Heal Well, my dear....!

Ck, you're absolutely right, and I have been reading _The Hunger Games_ as well as a book on the 1918-1919 Flu Pandemic. But I am not one to sit around, so I get antsy to move and accomplish something. Who knew it would be so hard to relax? :-)

Naomi, I have made some jewelry while sitting around and have contemplated taking up crocheting. I used to do lots of crafts when the kids were little and napping and I had to be quiet. I need to rediscover those hobbies.

Love the porch! Hope your recovery went well. I find, like with CK's blog, that your blog will not refresh with my new feedreader. I have it subscribed, but I see looking back that nothing new ever appears (despite your having a bunch of posts I missed). So I get to do my updating the old-fashioned way!

For CK the book lover
