Today went very well considering I had my first Saturday back at work. Now, according to my doctor's note, I don't have to return to work until the 1st of February, but I am an overachiever....
So, the day started with Hubby and Father in Law leaving around 6:15 AM to head out for Hubby's 100k. So, I got up at 6:45 and started getting ready for work. I was getting more and more nervous about driving myself and then when I tried to brush my teeth, it became apparent that I am not yet ready for driving! I thought my toothpaste covered brush was going in my mouth, but it hit my cheek instead! Crazy spacial awareness! It is still coming back-just very slowly! So, my wonderful mommie came to pick me up and take me to work.
I headed down and we got the horses turned out when she got here. I was able to throw the hay without falling on the ice, although my heart rate monitor was going crazy.
Then I made it thru work. I was so tired by the end, but the day went smoothly overall. We were just VERY busy! My mom came to pick me up after work.
Afterwork, we headed over to kiss Hubby on one of his laps and bring them some lunch. Then, mom and I got a quick pedicure to celebrate my surviving a Saturday as the only pharmacist.
We finally arrived home around 5pm. We went straight down to bring the horses in and finish up barn chores and feeding. Luckily, my mom and brother did most of the barn stuff for me today since I am not really allowed to lift yet. Not too many barn chores that don't involve lifting!
Cesar (my horse) was happy to have me leading him in. He is so affectionate. I used to see him everyday but since I have been sick I haven't always made it to the barn, so now when I do, he is SO happy. I have never seen anything like it. He will actually leave his food to 'speak' to me. He nickers like crazy to me like he is telling me a story. So cute. I know he is bored. He is so out of shape also. We have a long long road ahead of us but I can't wait to get started. I have had Cesar since he was a yearling and he will be 7 in March, so we have a history going. He is the biggest spoiled brat ever, but I love him anyway :-). Being in my dressage saddle on his back is going to be like heaven! And, I upgraded to a newer better helmet too-just in case :-).
I was in bed by 7 but hubby is now done with his 100K and on the way home. Plus, it is time for night check at the barn. So, down to the horses I go-and then back to bed!
I had my clipping in Sept. Got a clear EEG. My doc told me I don't have to see him anymore. I had weakness on my right side, almost normal again. Get depressed here and there. I want to start riding by the beginning of Summer..that is my goal. I don't want to start now, feel it's too soon. I'm a nurse, and I am just being leary perhaps. Sounds like you are doing too much if you had surgery last month. My dr would have scolded me. You need a good 3 months to even get to "recovery" stage. Be so careful. I'm like you, I want to be "normal" again,but it takes time. Be careful.
