Vantreesta, you should have told me you were here, we could have met up! You came at just the right time. Nice weather but not too hot. I love eggnog! DH got a BIG bottle of the premixed kind. I'm waiting until our holiday party on 12/18 to open it because I doubt the two of us could finish it!
Alison, your week's workout plan looks good. I should try something like that. I'm not wanting to stick with anything really specific and there's a good mix there. Do you have any trips planned still?
Daphne, I have yet to try a Peloton meditation. I put them on for DS a couple of times (he has trouble falling asleep, just like me). But then he was overthinking those (do I lie down? do I close my eyes? I need to pee, etc.). I should try one. iFit apparently has some good ones too.
According to DH, it is somewhat common that people go in for a particular surgery and some other issue is found. I guess it makes sense--you can see a lot when you're actually in there!
I had my post-op appointment and there was a small hernia, the one visible on CT. They actually went in through there (along with two other spots) looked around, and only saw my inflamed appendix, no hernia. According to the PA i saw a week ago, it was supposedly close to becoming acute.
Surprisingly I took it really easy after my surgery for once I had it on Thursday and laid low until Monday. I had to pick the kids up that day and it was ROUGH. I got tired so easily, and while it wasn't AS bad as my c-sections, it was quite painful and made me pretty weak.
DH helped so much, he even got home from work every morning and took the kids to school. But then he went to CO for 4 days to see his parents and I got a bit worn out again.
I'm back to semi-normal. Haven't tried running yet. I got my COVID booster Friday and ended up with chills and achy joints Saturday. Hopefully this weekend will finally be completely normal!
I've mostly been walking and doing Pure Barre. I tried one rowing workout and my everything hurt. I feel like I need to do lots of strength work, esp. glutes, because I'm imbalanced and not engaging muscles properly.
