Too bad I don't have practice as a couch potato. Life would be easier.
That blast to destroy the kidney stone did collateral tissue damage and bruising to the kidney. So I took the prescribed pain killers. However, I have a hard time sitting and waiting to heal before stressing the body.
Soon I feel better and there is little pain. So I head out for walking and exploring. Bad idea. Returning from a half hour walk I am in pain. So back on the meds again.
Yesterday I did nothing to allow the body some chance to heal. A day wasn't long enough. This morning I thought a visit to a UofA campus museum seemed innocent and low stress. Not too much walking.
Wrong again. Once I was back home, I hit the pain killers again.
I finally got the message. Give the damage time to heal. So I will take a week off from exploring and walking.
With no experience as a couch potato and no TV habit, I will find tasks with minimal physical requirements.

Oh, ouch! Sorry to hear about your pain. No fun.
ReplyDeleteGo sit in a comfortable chair, hopefully you have a laptop and can read some blogs. While you're waiting to go do more things, you can read about even more things to go, see, do when you're able.
Take care of yourself.
The purchased park model was furnished -- including a recliner. With gadgets (iPad, Nexus, Kindle), I can sit in the recliner and heal. I hope.
DeleteSitting still to heal drives me nuttier than before. At least here on the coast I could go sit on a jetty and watch the waves, turtles, boats and foolish humans for entertainment.
ReplyDeleteStarbucks provides entertainment when I get bored sitting in the recliner and reading.
DeleteCheck out topdocumentaryfilms.com for some interesting stuff. Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI had found that site a couple of months ago. At the time with slow speed access (and limited GBs) to the internet, I was very selective about what I would watch. With cable internet, it is time to go back.
DeleteAny TV shows you'd like to see from the first season? You could join Netflix and watch all the episodes until you're feeling better. Probably not... Hope you feel better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWithout a TV habit, it won't happen. Pretty much back to normal 10 days after blasting. Went for a hike today with no issues. That would be normal living for me.
