05-09-22 Aches and Pains
I woke up at 3:15 am and had fitful sleep for the rest of the night. When I was finally ready to get up for work, my right lower front and back quadrant really hurt. It was painful to the touch and moving around was awkward and pain filled. I met Galen and Doug at the theatre with my car full and let them unload it, then it was off to a very full day at the office. I spent half of it on paid and half on volunteer work. My back was aching sitting at my desk so Keri went into Sean’s office (he’s away on a work trip) and borrowed his vibrating obusform, Cindy gave me robaxacet and I was good to stay and work. I got up as often as I could to walk around and stretch and by the time I got home I was feeling slightly better although I have spent the evening with a heating pad on it. My hands are also bruised. I think it all happened when the wind took control while we were taking down one of the circus style tents on Saturday. I was supporting the centre pole and didn’t want to drop it. I wasn’t thinking about my surgery and recovery and that I hadn’t done much for the last 5 weeks. I had a good laugh today when my Linda in the UK sent me a message she saw that she knew would make me laugh and I replied with a photo saying I was feeling fiery hot and maybe I need my chimney swept. It is fun to giggle across the miles.
I connected today in a major way with my first best friend, making plans to girl trip together to fill in the missing years. It seems our brains have experienced similar things through the years. I can’t explain how important it is to me to reconnect with Kelly. She was the first non related person who just loved me for me and vice versa. I look forward to making a real plan and following through, it would be a blessing to have that close relationship again.
Is it just me or does Marg look like she is doing the sprinkler???
