So, I found myself being rather cranky and more than a little tired. Let me back up a bit...this week I started volunteering in the anatomy lab with 34 brand new PT students (has it really been 3 years?) and it was the first time that I had to set an alarm back to back. Also the first time to interact with anyone and to turn my brain back on...CRAZY!
You know how it is when you go away on a vacation and disconnect from everything? No phone, no clock, no shower, no pressure, no tv...well, it turns out that having surgery and recovering in your house is about the same - at least when you start to connect back to the world. At least in my world. I have to say that I have enjoyed the slower pace, the reduced pressure, watching movies and catching up on reading - but I was getting a bit bored. But this re-entry thing is amusing to say the least. I am happy to have figured out what was amiss and to be gentle with myself during this process too.
Freaking life lessons...patience...gentle with myself...self care...ok...I'm paying attention!
