celticdragonflyI have overdone it a bit.
I have started carefully sitting for short periods in my special folding camp chair. When I do it too long, ow, I pay for it and must go lie down again.
This evening, with Karl spotting me, I went downstairs. He made me go down a few steps then back up first, to prove I can do it. Going UP hurts much more than going down. I sat for a little, laid down on the couch a little, then managed to eat sitting up at the table. Quickly, so I could take my pain meds (require food) and go back upstairs. The body has had enough of that, and I have been lying down since.
I needed to do it, though. I'm going to need to go downstairs tomorrow morning. The speech therapist is bringing a sensory OT person to evaluate Jamie, and they're going to need to ask me a lot of questions. So I'll have Karl bring down my camp chair in the morning, and I'll go down for the appointment. I expect after that I will need to go lie down for a while.
