Staying busy

Work, home and health

This is an image of what is going on in my head. Since my last post, I have done my best to stay busy with work and home. I am still restricted from lifting anything more than 10 pounds but feel great and want to get out and run, jump and roll around. The heaviest thing I lift is my notebook computer for work. 

Tomorrow is another results day. I find out the recommendation for treatment. Yes, this type of waiting is very disruptive to daily life, but I try to push back the "what if" bucket of thoughts and begin to focus on other items.

What have I been focusing on? Exciting projects at work. I have been told not to take on too much right now, but this is exciting and distracting for me. However, I have worked out some agreements with my manager and Jeff to raise my hand and say when I am tired. The good news is that I have great support at work and team members to help pick up the slack for me. Plus, I have a strong support system of family and friends to help me at home. 

Other items I focus on is Madison playing her inaugural soccer season. It is so much fun to watch her play. She runs and sometimes will prance. Oh, and how can I forget the way she stops to pick up a hand full of grass. It makes me laugh and then I have to remember that she is just 4 and not out to get an endorsement deal from Gatorade or Adidas.

Take time to do something nice for yourself. I realize that I do a terrible job at this and want to do this more. Is it being selfish? I think only you can answer that question. My nice thing will be a pedicure next week. This sparkling pink nail polish is wearing on me. And my other something nice will be when I can take a yoga class next month. I will start back up in a few weeks when I am cleared to begin stretching and using my core again.

I will post an update tomorrow afternoon on the results.

I love your guts!
