Jul. 14th, 2008 01:22 pmwell tomorrow i go back to work, if only for a half day.
i have been struggling for the past two days with working around my meds.
i'm down to a half dose every 4 hours at max and i've been TRYING to substitute liquid tylenol. so far that seems like an option except when i am sleeping. i should be able to get off the drugs enough to be "sober" for the drive to work and back. my main concerns are 2. the first is how easily i get tired. some of that is the meds, but most of it is just recovering from surgery. i'm not napping so much, but my energy is just...nothing. i have been trying to go for walks during the day and i get tired after going very short distances.
the second is that my voice gets tired easily and my job requires phone use. i still haven't made any phone calls. i probably could, but not without discomfort. i'd rather rest my voice than talk to my loved ones even though one of my best friends is having her birthday today. that is saying something (i will send her a card). i am worried about running out of voice at work tomorrow...well maybe not tomorrow, since it's only a half-day...but wednesday.
i've been knitting like mad and i'm really hoping to finish my brother amos socks today. they have been one of the hardest patterns i've ever knit and a royal pain in my ass. but i do like how they look. i have given up knitting them at the same time. it was an unwise choice to pick such a hard pattern for a first time try at that. i will finish them both separately.
i'd take pictures for you, but our camera seems to be out of batteries, and our batteries will no longer recharge. i ordered some more and hopefully you will not have to wait long.
