Sean what you need is a new bucket. You are human not a machine. Give yourself the chance to heal and come back I'm grateful that you post here. You are a fine, valued member of this community.

Thanks Diva, your too kind. Yep, your right, I'm realizing I'm not a machine, no "spring chicken" anymore!
I guess I'm so use to being the "Energizer Bunny" that when I do have the time to relax, I don't know how?
After every injury I have had, I pushed myself too hard to get back to where I was before it happened....sometimes re-injuring myself in the process....you think I would know better!
I'm glad I have good friends on here that I can go on a rant and they understand where I'm coming from!

After my hysterectomy, i spent 6 weeks recovering. I went for a walk, whatever distance i could do. And i worked on a quilt. Not much else. Just allowing myself to recover. Not easy to do.

Your right Cap, it's not easy to do. Although, this time it has become abundantly clear that I'm going to have to take it easy for awhile.
The last couple of days has made me realise it...I keep moving the muscles that were cut and pulled apart and the pain is a sign, I shouldn't be doing what I'm doing!

I agree, at the same time it's not the pain issue, I've been dealing with pain most of my life....that's why I have a high tolerance to pain. I have realized I'm going to have to make some hard choices when it comes to the one thing I receive true enjoyment from...my birds. I tend to not let things get me down...I see half full, not half empty! the problem is I'm at the point my bucket's half full and now, it sprung a leak, so to speak. Just need some time to figure things out!

Oh I completely. Understand that! My bucket has been leaking for a long time now. Decisions are hard when it comes to anything we love. But keep in mind if this is about the surgery, it has been only a couple of days. If it is something else's. I recommend you heal first.

Looks like I'm making the coffee this morning...beware, it's going to be strong, powerful stuff! My eyeballs have to opened some way.

Good Morning, coffee is on.

Whoops, we overlapped!

 

[igorsMistress]

Thanks for the coffee ladies! Extra strong is a requirement today.

We have excessive heat warnings this week, ugh. Headed out to prep for the day, I'm going to use a ton of ice. Enjoy everyone

No worries NFC, DH like his a little lighter than I do. (Being nice) I call it coff-tea ( if you can see through the it it is not coffee IMHO) DS asked the other day? " am I up in time for coffee?" I said yes he then said " no I meant coffee, not coff-tar!"

He turned my sarcasm against me.
