So apparently laying down and resting IS good for you after surgery. Just sitting up all day has taken a bit of a twingey toll on my boo-boos. I did pretty good at avoiding things that hurt with a little assist from Henry.
Things that hurt:
1. Putting the car in gear; changing gears
2. Looking back over my shoulder to back up
3. Steering with my right arm
4. The seat belt
5. Pulling open heavy doors ( I swear the door of my bldg. gained 15 lbs while I was away).
6. Taping boxes
I was good and didn't lift on that side but when a box fell off the counter at the po I did stretch to save it ( instinctively) and that was --- well a final reminder I am not yet healed.
Time to rest.
I WILL tie you up.
ReplyDeleteOh wait.. tie you down.
..you know, to keep you from working...
