Baby Steps - One Step at a Time

I spent yesterday in my pajamas in rest and recovery mode. I felt like a slug - I don't like inactivity, but I really wasn't up to much of anything. So yeah - the slugs and I had a lot in common yesterday. I did read through all of the paperwork and recommendations of the medical staff, and hoped I'd hear from my doctor about the lymph node biopsy results, but that's 1-3 days, and today is only Day 2. And, actually, my true follow-up appointment isn't until the 19th. so if they wanted to be super annoying (or very thorough) they could hold off telling me anything substantial until then. *sigh*

I feel like a slug. I'm still going to take things easy 
today, but tomorrow I'll be back on the treadmill 
and back to work. I don't do inactivity very well. 

So today I took a shower (such a wonderful feeling, to be clean again) and I'll go to the grocery store if I don't have everything necessary for a nice soup. I'm in the mood for soup. I can't lift anything heavier than a gallon jug, so I'll be using the drive-up to get my groceries into the car, and I'll be transporting them back into the house in stages. I have a feeling my energy won't last long today, so I want to make sure I have everything necessary. 

I'm out of soup, so making another batch of a type of vegetable 
soup is high on my list of things to do. It does take some 
prep work, but then it basically cooks itself. 

I did make sure to have an "Ogre Juice" on my surgery day and yesterday. I have four more in the refrigerator, ready for drinking. I think they will be quite essential to a quick heal. I'm not really in any pain. I still have five of the pain pills they prescribed for me, and I'll only take one if I need it. I'm generally pretty good with pain, but there's also no sense in being uncomfortable because that holds back healing. 

I've made sure to have an alkagizer every day. I know that's 
essential to my healing and gives me the nutrients I need 
to be back on my feet quickly. 

So anyway, that's what's happening on my end. I'll try to think of something other than my health to post about tomorrow. I'm starting to bore myself - LOL. There must be some positive things out there that I can share with all of you. Have an excellent Friday and I'll be back to wrap up the week tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
