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.

BOY, do I sympathize! Until the VA corrects the piece they missed in the nerve block in September, I get about an hour of sitting comfortably before I have to get up and move around (and comfortably is relative, let me tell you -- I tend to lean on the left arm of my desk chair a lot, which is not really a good thing). Then after about four hours, I need to lay down for a half-hour or so. It's a good thing I'm working at home for a client who's actually paying well and on time. If only it were permanent . . . so I could get bennies and find a -real- doctor, not the VA.

Take care of yourself!
