I’ve been out of the hospital for one week today, and in that time, I’ve discovered several things about myself:<\/p>\n
1. I am not a good patient. \u00a0Patient comes from “patience” and I have none. \u00a0Less than none. \u00a0I want to be better and back to work yesterday.<\/p>\n
2. I have no stamina. \u00a0At all. \u00a0I went out yesterday to lunch with my hubby and a good friend, then did a little bit of grocery shopping, then stitched at the studio for about 5 hours. \u00a0Handstitching. \u00a0Not really rigorous. \u00a0And yet, I slept until 11:30 am this morning. \u00a0And I’m exhausted. \u00a0So much for phone calls today. \u00a0I’ll send some emails, but I think that might be it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Right now, I’m not planning on returning to work even part time until at least the 20th, and that might change as I see how much I can handle. \u00a0I feel bad, because I know how busy we are, but I just can’t do it right now. \u00a0I’m not 22 years old, and I don’t bounce back from the stress the way I did. \u00a0So today, rather than beating myself up for sleeping until 11:30, I’m going to take it easy, find my lounge chair and stitch outside later. \u00a0I’m going to write, but the rest of my “to-do” list (yes, I made one last night) might get sloughed off to Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
