Vertical
I’m vertical again.
YaY
I’ll be living life without ibuprofen
& I’m breaking up with my heating pad today.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Waaa.
It sure has been an interesting couple of days.
From Friday’s, uh oh what have I done ?
To Saturday’s, hey, I can do this.
To Sunday’s, weeeee ! pain free glee.
To Monday’s, but, I love my heating pad …
These days have been very, very different from my norm.
Those first couple hours, when I felt trapped in my chair, all I could think of was the
‘Oh No’s.
I’m supposed to go ….
I need to do …
I want to …
I have to …
etcetera … etcetera … etcetera …
OH. NO.
My mind was racing with a million little must dos.
I must.
I must …!
But, after sitting a few hours in the quietness of my upstairs, I realized ….
I really liked the shhhhhhhhhhh.
Just shhhhhhhhhh.
It’s all good.
& yep.
It really was all good.
I truly enjoyed the stopping.
The quiet.
The stillness.
I ‘lost’ four days but, I gained so much.
& I never thought hurting my back could bring my heart such contentment.
I’m vertical again.
YaY.
And I’m happy to be getting BACK to my busy.
Especially with the knowledge that a wonderfully quiet, unbusy, shhhhhhhhh world is just an upstairs, a chair and a heating pad away.
