I can do a lot more for myself now but reaching and stretching is still hard for me, especially with my left arm as it is coming along at a slower rate but patience grasshopper, not my strongest attribute! I can't lift much more than about 3 pounds as of right now so carrying my laptop around is still a struggle as well as taking out the trash. I am sleeping pretty good throughout the night but occasionally wake up to find myself drenched in sweat but that may be due to my 497 pillows I have to sleep with. I use my ice packs constantly as they help numb my chest and am still having to take Ibuprofen pretty often but have taken my pain pills 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Sometimes you need to just have a few hours pain, sore and tightness FREE and I will not beat myself up about that. I can only take them on the weekends as I have to be alert and on my game for work each weekday.
My emotions have pretty much evened out but I still have those odd times where I will just beak down and cry a little bit. But I just remind myself it's okay because I'm going through a lot of change and so I find my big girl panties, put them on and move on with my day.
I will have to go back to my full time job on August 18th and am kind of dreading that as I get so tired, so fast these days. I work anywhere from 3-6 hours a day right now and literally come home, soak in a hot bath and then fall into bed or on my couch and veg out. My hope is that I can UP my stamina in the next week or 2 so I will be ready for the kids to come back to school on August 25th! Now a funny....
