It's funny how, when I am healthy, I dream of a little time off from the family. I don't even have to have anything exciting planned. I just yearn for the solitude.
So, what happens when I follow the doctor's orders and rest? I am so totally bored out of my skull peeps. Yesterday, it was a lose-lose situation. I would rest, especially if I had taken some pain medication. When I woke up, I would be all-over stiff and achy from lying down. So I would walk around to loosen up, and I would get dizzy. So then I would sit in front of the monitor until the pain increased to an intolerable level, and at that time I'd go lay down.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Today, I am much better and for the majority of the time I have been able to remain upright. My gait has changed from that of a hump backed ogre with the shuffle, to that of a 96 year old woman with a shuffle, minus the hump. It does feel good to stand up straight again. That way I don't have to be reminded of how bad I need to vacuum.
Posted in the extended entry is the reason I don't like IVs. Well, that and because there are needles involved.

Yow, your arms look bad, all contused like that. Tell those folks who are multi-sticking you to learn how to find a vein. I'm glad you are feeling better. Enjoy the rest while you can.

Ouch! I hate when I get sticked and they can't find the vein. Hope you get to feeling better soon. @-->--

Moogie, I'm really sorry you've been sick, AND wounded. That's some impressive bruising you've got.
Hope you are back to fully upright and pain-free in no time. And please, refrain from all vacuuming a while longer!

Oh....well, ya-a-a!! Ummmm, don't hunch over and keep looking down at the crumbs on the carpet! That's the worst thing you can do! Now, stand straight and you'll see the carpet's just fine! It's the cobwebs in the corner that'll get you going!!
Hope you feel better real soon.

Wow. Look at all that happens when I miss reading your blog a couple of days. I'm sorry you're down.... Question, is the treatment worse than the disease? I hope all works out well for you soon. I'll check in more often to see how you're doing.
