Ow. Damnit.

If you're sitting down to read this, take a moment to appreciate it.

Because you take it for granted, don't you? That you can sit down. And stay sitting down.

My FEET HURT. I spend almost the entire day standing up. Because I'm still recovering from this surgery, can only sit in certain chairs, and have limits for how long I can do that. My feet, shins, knees all hurt. A lot.

And we set the computers up so I *could* stand at mine - so that's where I am a lot. I'm tired.

There's one chair that works pretty well. But we need to rearrange things so I can use it at the computer. And it's a big wooden ladderback chair - and that's exactly how the kids use it, they've knocked it down on themselves several times already, so mostly I can't have it in the same room with them.

And furthermore

Yesterday's piece of wisdom - just because circumstances have forced me to "go back to work" now, rather than at the 6 weeks to 3 months that is apparently what's sensible for someone who's had this surgery, does NOT mean that I am at the state of recovery of someone ready to go back to work.

Now if I can just keep remembering that.
