Another hurdle...

Hi,
Short and sweet today.
After finally making it to the end of an enforced 4 day rest at home on the couch with my leg up, I didn't really get the news I was after when I went to the doctor today.
While my swelling is going down, the level of pain isn't, so I have been put on further medication and told to stay laying down with my leg up for 6 more days!!

Sitting down and resting has never really been part of my ideal things to do, but given the risks associated with the problem I developed in my leg I am following the doctor's orders to the letter, regardless of how much it bugs me.

So tomorrow one of our boys is going to shoot out to my school and collect end of year reports for me to read through and check ( that will be a blast!!) and also grab the new laptop waiting for me there. It will be good having the time to set it up just the way I want.

One of my fears about spending so much time being inactive is turning into a big blob of lard, but since my hunger has waned completely ( due to the medication, inactivity or both) I feel that it won't be too hard to start getting back into shape again.
Look out when I get the all clear to get on my bike!!
The only hassle will be when it all stops again so that I can get the operation done on my shoulder that was due yesterday.

Still, my hassles are pathetic in the big picture of things. Keep the perspective.

Cheers!!
