Makin' Plans

Day 52-

Went out again today with my mom and for the first time I started to plan for things in a couple months.  I got a couple workout dvd’s like yoga and ballet and I also bought some material for when I can sew again, which I am hoping will be soon!  You wouldn’t believe sometimes how much you use your right leg till you can’t!  But it was nice to get things with the thoughts that I will be able to use them soon enough as in a couple months.  I have no aversion to getting stuff and having to wait to use it.  It’s like a gift to myself in the future!  Was sore today going out but it was very cold so I’m sure that had something to do with it as well.  I can’t wait for warmer weather so my leg can really heal and so I can get out there and walk around a little bit and get some more exercise.

Party no so Hardy

Day 51-

Went out tonight to a bar for a friends birthday and it was a lot of fun.  It was hard being on my leg for so long and holding a drink with a cane but I did it and had a nice time with friends.  It was nice to get out of the house for a couple hours and to have a drink.  Right now, while being on the pain meds I don’t drink or I pick.  If I know I’m going to have a couple drinks at night I won’t take any meds.  It’s all about being smart and being smart then when you go out.  You know you can’t get messy since if you do, you could hurt yourself and set your healing back if you screw up the implant.  So now, I spend the money and get one really good drink instead of going cheap and getting several beers.  Besides, going out to drink cost too much anyways!! 

Reading

Day 50-

I’m still reading my book so not much to report!  Sorry folks!  I’ve just been reading and reading and so enjoying it.   Needless to say that with so much reading there isn’t much else going on here so I’m not going to report anything false!  Just let me remind you that you have to find a hobby or activity you  enjoy while you are laid up or you are going to go nuts!!

New Knee Lesson No. 5

Day 49-

Still reading my book and I’m able to get about 150 pages read a day right now!  That  might be why I’m so far ahead in my books on Goodreads.com!  Here’s my advise to those out there with this injury… find something, anything, you can do while laid up that makes you happy.  Be it watching all your favorite movies, reading, word games, knitting, as it’s the thing that keeps you sane and happy!  When I was so knocked up I couldn’t even keep my eyes open I was upset that I couldn’t do anything being upset I think hinders the healing.  Now that I have something to do that I really enjoy I feel even less pain.  So there you go, New Knee Lesson #5… “Find a Hobby that Makes You Happy While you are Laid Up!!”.
