not that my recovery is going all that slow. Physician Assistant says everything is going fine with my recovery. And that I can run again now. But now heavy lifting and no sit ups (I'm broken hearted, really). Got that news yesterday, 1 week after having my gall bladder removed.
Those who know me.. would expect me to be running in an instant.. but I don't want to yet. I walked a couple miles around the track today as the rest of my run team ran. And that was OK. Debating where I will run Thursday... I think I'll do it on the treadmill (not exactly the BEST thing in the world, don't like treadmills) so I can be in a controlled environment in case I'm not as good as I hope. [ Speaking of treadmills, did you hear about the treadmill NASA named after Steven Colbert? Cool huh? He seemed thrilled.]
My friends all say I must not be feeling right yet if I don't WANT to run. They're right... surgery takes a heck of a lot more out of a person that I had thought. Then again, I didn't know what to think. I am tender around the various x-holes in my abdomen. I think I'll be OK. I'm just in uncharted territory right now. Gonna take it slow and not F it up. (Please ignore the fact that I've been back at work for 2 days and have already put in OT again.)
In other news, my convalescence let me read the Dragonrider series again (Dragon Flight, Dragon Quest and The White Dragon). I'll never forget reading The White Dragon in 6th grade and how all the other kids in my class thought I was lying when I said I was on page 300something when they were reading 75 page books.
I also watched a couple Deadliest Catch "marathons". Sorta makes a difference when you watch a couple seasons worth of a show in a couple days.. you learn more about the people involved. The new season of Deadliest Catch started tonight. It looks good. I'm surprised Capt'n Phil decided to not go out with Cornelia Marie... he really must have hurt bad with that blood clot thing. Maybe him not going out with the fleet is similar to me not leaping back into running. Scared and mortal. That's me and Capt'n Phil. We're like that :)
The Alaska Experiment also looks interesting. Makes me want to go survive in the wild. But after my experience becoming one of the Frozen Chosen, I know I don't like being bone cold for more than a couple minutes at a time. Reminds me of wanting to blog about "Type E" personalities. That will have to be another day. For now... to bed with me.
