Save for a visit to the doctor, for my stitches removal, I have been holed up at home. Not by choice of course. It has been 20 days now, since I ventured out. Being a very physically active person, this is irritating.
I cannot sit for long as this swells up my foot and then again I can’t sleep for long too…sleeping in the same position makes my back ache. To top this all, due to all the inactivity, I am putting on weight…at the wrong places too, which is bad for me. To balance myself on one good foot and hop around, I can’t afford to be weighty. And, as it is I am throwing my weight around.
Being a cleanliness freak (read OCD) I like things to be done my way. My family is always helpful, but, am I ever satisfied? I really don’t know how to sit back and chill. So, I am hopping around the house with my walker making ‘clack’ ‘clack’ sound and setting things right, even if this stresses my good foot a lot.
If I am not ordering people around then I am on my laptop browsing, reading blogs, writing and then that has a limit too.
Then, I have my kittens and I let them inside the house and play with them for some time…they are a great stress buster.
When in hospital, I had lot of people visiting me, but, I was in pain and could not welcome their company. Now, I yearn for them.
As per doctor’s protocol I can’t put pressure of my right foot for another 15 days. Then the partial weight bearing starts. So, it will be another month at the earliest until I will be ready to walk again…till then I can’t help but ‘go nuts’ and also drive people crazy.
