Body updates
Jul. 8th, 2008 09:19 pmAngie spent ages trying to convince me that muscle pain was good - that the hurt that comes from actually exercising is a good thing.
I think it's taken me undergoing a live dissection to actually have a clue what she was talking about.
Some recent firsts:
* I've lifted Leif a couple of times to keep him from climbing up and over the child gate. I'm allowed to lift him in emergencies. I didn't need to crawl away and cuddle my Oxycodone after.
* I didn't take extra Tramadol in the morning this past weekend in order to cope with playing with him. This would've been a bright move had it been a 2 day weekend. As it was, I did wind up pulling a muscle near the end of the third day.
* I biked home today for the first time in 7 months.
I still haven't kicked the last pain killer in the evening. Every time I get brave enough to try it again, I up my activity level instead. So, keeping to a full dose this week. Maybe cutting to a half dose next week. There's travel coming up, and I want to make sure I don't screw myself for that.
