My ENT wasn't kidding when he said tonsillectomies are harder on adults than kids. Tomorrow will be two weeks of a sore throat. I have a follow-up Friday, so hopefully everything healed nicely. I have no regrets though because the recurring sinus issues will now (hopefully) be a thing of the past, as well as those nasty white balls of decayed food that would appear in the pockets of my tonsils.
After weeks of asking the hubby to organize the garage I got my butt in there and moved a few things around that I shouldn't have. His quad won't start and the tires are flat because he doesn't keep it on crates (he did finally bring some crates home yesterday - too bad it was after I pulled my back out trying to slide the thing out of the way haha).
So yeah those are my why-I-haven't-been-to-the-gym excuses. Spank me!
Still haven't figured out how to get my man to do what needs to be done in a timely matter. Hearing "I'll take care of it," just doesn't cut it to a woman. We don't live in the now. We women live in the if-this-doesn't-get-done-now-there-will-be-more-to-do-later. He's the grasshopper to my worker ant, I guess.
We discussed my inability to sit still today, and how it's difficult for me not to move forward. I explained that chronic pain keeps my mind wanting to move forward. If I sit still I will feel the pain. If I do things (ie plan surgeries that may offer relief, plan an event or research new treatments) I'm doing some thing. But he does have a point, so...
If I have to learn to sit still more, he should learn to do what needs to be done in the here and now, and not put things off so much.
