I had a minor surgery on Wednesday and I am on day 5 of taking it very easy. Last time I had something like this done, I tried to do too much and I think it prolonged the recovery. This time, I was doing well, resting well and then decided (hard-headedly) that I wanted to lie on my belly to sleep, because I am a stomach sleeper. I buy the special stomach sleeper pillows at Ikea. I slept on my stomach during all 3 of my pregnancies and even after the C-sections, but this surgery, because of where it is on my belly, I guess, makes it impossible. By even trying, I think I set my recovery back a few days. So yesterday, I took it very, very easy which is kind of hard for me. I like to get things done and check them off. On the bright side, I got a lot of art done. I did get out yesterday to teach the art class I'm teaching at church. It's 5 minutes away and lasts 40 minutes and my daughter drove me, carried my stuff and helped me, so it wasn't too strenuous. I am finding it interesting to see everyone's different interpretations of the very basic directions I have given them and how much they are enjoying it. I'm enjoying it a lot too.
