susandennisOn the up side, I was able to eat breakfast without my hands cramping. I could still feel the ghost of cramping but it just a feeling, not a hurt.
My lower back, however, feels like an elephant walked on it. Pressure makes it hurt. It's like a bruise that does not show. I am sure it's from the other day when I was crawling around the computer cabling oh and I moved the TV around and lifted it several times yesterday. While I was swimming it felt tight but it also felt loosened when I was done.
I do feel like I could use a massage. I do not normally even like massages. At all. So I have no fall back place to go, especially on an Easter Sunday. I'm not sure I'd go anyway.
And then there's the breathing. On Tuesday, we'll have no electricity in the building - no elevators. I can easily go down the stairs and do often but I have not climbed up the stairs to here since I started having all these breathing issues. So today I decided to try it.
As I suspected, it was not easy. I made it but not without a lot of stopping and panting and stopping and panting. Note to self: pack and use rescue inhaler before you even try it. At least I do know I can do it and that's something.
My current plan is to stay here until they cut us off, then pack up the work laptop and my personal laptop and go to the library near the pool until swim class and then do the conference call in the car and then maybe come back here ... meaning up the stairs. Maybe.
We shall see.
