After Surgery...Home All Day...What Did You Do to Pass the Time?

 I was actually off for 7 weeks, 3 weeks longer than I needed to be, but my doc wouldn't release me to return to work. I needed the break. It was a good time for me to re-examine my life, career, goals and determine if everything was where I wanted it to be. Of course, I RESTED!!! I didn't feel at all guilty about taking a 3 pm nap. It was glorious. I would go out each morning for a walk around my neighborhood, watched the stack of DVDs that my sister and nephew left for me, read pretty much every single page on this site (LOL), and worked on writing up a business plan for a friend. 

Mostly, I rested. I figured it was the only time I could languish all day and no one ask me if I was feeling ok. 

Enjoy your time off, and get some rest.

I was home for 8 weeks,  Would have been more if I coulda got paid for it.  The first 2 weeks I did nothing...watch tv, laid around, read books, listened to music and enjoyed being taken care of.  The kids were still in school and it was quiet.
Week 3 they got out for the summer and we had a ball!!!  Got passes to the local 6 flags and we hit it 3 -4 times a week.  The walking was good for me.  We went
to the beach - they played I walked and layed in the sun.  We went to the mall when it got to hot and walked and spent money I was earning hanging at home with them.  

It was like the first week of August when I went back.  I was relaxed chilled, 60 pounds lighter and 4 shades darker.  People at work hated me!!  I was in love with me!!

I passed gas...sipped...and was on www.obesityhelp.com.
