The healing process
So healing seems to involve reading lots of books, crocheting a blanket, going on walks and making tasty food. That has been my last month or so. I'm starting to get stir crazy. Zach has been helpful. We went to a museum this weekend because I NEEDED to get out of the house. I had Drs appointments over the past week and I have some good news that will somewhat help my mental state. I can drive. Ya! I am no longer reliant on other people to take me places. Elanor will be pleased. I can now lift 20 lbs. This is up from my current 10 lb restriction. I can lift laundry baskets and groceries now - an improvement. And technically I can exercise, but I can't get my heart rate over 110. So that means I can't do more than walk quickly - which hardly seems like exercise to me. I am somewhat frustrated by my new limits because I was hoping for better. I want to be able to pick up what I like, get a backrub and go running. But it seems the magic day of doing whatever the hell I want is March 1st. ::Sigh:: At least I get to go to work and feel like a normal member of society once again.
