Today I actually got out of bed at a reasonable time, and was up and about for 6 whole hours. Caddy trained me in pilates; part of my "move around more" plan. we used the mini-exercise balls my mom got me, and it did good stuff for my shoulders. We spent our gift certificates, resulting in DS's for EVERYONE in our house now! This was actually a great idea. Everyone can stay occupied during my doctor's appointments and recovery. Caddy is planning on staying in the hospital with me, so a hand-held gaming system will be crucial to his sanity. I also got some new knitting and crochet books, and I intend to fill my new knitting basket from Caddy's dad and stepmom with goodies that will result in comfy hats to cover my bald patch and keep me warm. I don't think that they'll shave my whole head, but I know that I'm going to have some seriously awkward hair for a while. I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me. Years of caring for my hair and trying to keep it healthy so I can wear it long, and they're gonna shave a bunch of it off just as it's almost to my waist again. Worse yet, the scar is going to cut right through my KF tattoo. I'm so whiny. Here I am, complaining about my future scar/hair, when the surgery is going to keep me from being a paraplegic. Boo freakin' hoo.
I have a really bad headache on my right side tonight. I'm gonna lay down with Drew and we're gonna play with our Nintendo DS's until our eyes bleed (or until I send him to bed.)
I don't want to go back to work right now. I mean, I love my work, don't get me wrong, but the thought of trying to be active and drive and work is just so terrifying right now! I can barely cope with doing light housework between lie-downs. All the same, I'm determined to go out a few more times before I go back to work. This may be my last chance to do so for a while.
