Den of Positivity, 11 months PO:
I did ten whole minutes on the elliptical today. There was a lot of huffing & puffing & sweating. Which was before I got on the machine.
10/30/18: Ten Whole Minutes
Month: October 2018
10/27/18: Bowling
Has anyone successfully gone bowling since surgery? I’m nearly 11 months PO and have done lunges at the gym with just body weight, but not holding a heavy ball wearing slippery shoes on a wooden floor. The more I describe it the more I think I should sit this one out. Thoughts? Experiences?
10/25/18: Morning Motivation
Yes, I will go for a walk this morning.
10/14/18: The Return
Sweet Potato Elf returneth.
10/12/18: A Quiet House
When, in an evening, your children collaborate instead of fight, and the house is quiet. And the gates of heaven open, and angels sing…
10/12/18: 10 Months P.O.
10 months PO. I gave in and started wearing underwear again. Definitely overrated, but…okay, necessary on certain days. A lot of sensation has returned to the back of my surgical side thigh, and it doesn’t feel so bizarre & uncomfortable anymore to have the underwear’s elastic against the incision on my glute fold. Probably not an issue so late in the game for other Hamsters, but I’m farther out on that sensory integration scale than most. I can’t wear that shit *every* day. Commando days remain. Still… progress.
10/11/18: Never Alone
When you wake up early, and take your meds, and get on the foam roller and stretch your body awake, and then get on Facebook, and no one is on yet, but then you watch, starting at 5:55 AM Eastern Standard Time, as the little green circles next to your Friends’ names start to come on, one by one, like stars coming out, or little suns rising…
10/5/18: Perspective
10/3/18: Rest. Breathe.
Look..! They *do* sit still. Find a way. Rest. Breathe. Then off you go again.
