not just sitting around Progress with rehabilitation is going nicely, thanks in no small part to the fact that I’ve kept myself as busy as I could possibly handle. In addition to my daily online responsibilities I have done my level best to keep physically occupied as well. My room does not get dirty because I run the vacuum frequently, wash dishes as soon as I dirty them, keep the garbage under control and clean up messes the moment they happen. I have a workout routine that includes upper body every other day, and walking every single day. Most of the time I go down our long driveway, take a right, go down to the end of the block, take the next right and walk as far up the street as I can before turning back. While using both crutches I could cover quite a distance but I’m down to just the one / 1, so my body is working really hard and I get fatigued much quicker. It’s a combination of deep pain and exhaustion I’m not quite used to yet. Trips to the library have been frequent, and I’ve probably gone to the grocery store far more often than necessary, but that’s all physical activity that benefits my recovery. Sleep is finally coming in larger chunks, but even when I’m up at odd hours of the night I get on the laptop and do something online to promote my movies, or just generate more visibility in general. Sales were up a tiny bit for a while, partially because of this I am sure, but I’m still struggling to regain my place in the popularity game. The point is, I might be stuck on my ass and back a lot, but I’m not just sitting around doing nothing. Yes, I watch a lot of movies, but that’s really the only time I have “off”. Those are my “break times” from the still painful reality of my situation. The rest of the time I am working, rehabbing and trying to be productive and responsible. Hopefully it’ll pay off in many ways, but top of the list is gaining back my strength, flexibility and mobility. I can’t make any real, substantial strides forward if I can’t even take that first step with confidence, so a whole lot of sitting around I don’t do, unless it is just absolutely necessary.  |
