We got our first snow of the season yesterday, about 2.5″ of wet, white stuff fell near our house throughout the day on Sunday. Bailey the cat decided that this year he does not like the wet stuff, and he complained bitterly that it interrupted his normal afternoon prowl. It’s cold but at least there is no wind.
I am beginning to feel a little bit house-bound and stir-crazy. Surgery was last Wednesday, it went well. The good doctor removed a record volume of polyps from my sinuses and then removed the surgical packing the next day in a followup (that really hurt). Since then I can breathe through my nose effortlessly and both in and out. It is amazing. I’d forgotten what that felt like. I am so happy I want to celebrate… so I go to jump for joy or party hard, and discover that I am still recovering from surgery. Ouch. Sudden motion and/or tilting my head causes mild nose bleeds, headaches, and dizziness. Damn. I so want to celebrate. It will have to wait.
Percoset definitely kills the headaches, but it makes me even more loopy. Saturday Erci took me to Karen‘s baby shower, where I got to see lots of fabulous people, but they all had fun at my expense as I was pretty woozy the whole time (and utterly defenseless to the witty repartee they all participated in). Sunday I just slept a lot. Keep feeling frustrated that there was so much to do, but unable to get up the energy to go do any of it… the house is still a mess, I need to pay some bills, I should catchup on email for work… I got nothing done except for a reviewing of all the Firefly episodes sporadically throughout the weekend.
This morning I woke up and felt like trying to shovel the snow a little, going very slowly and not lifting at all, just pushing… just the little bit by the garages and the hill was enough to cause a nose bleed and really make Erci mad at me though, so I came back inside to work a little from home and rest.
Sorry for the tedious details, but some people seem to want to know.
