Vertical

I'm vertical again.
YaY

I'll be living life without ibuprofen
& I'm breaking up with my heating pad today.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Waaa.

It sure has been an interesting couple of days.

From Friday's, uh oh what have I done ?
To Saturday's, hey, I can do this.
To Sunday's, weeeee ! pain free glee.
To Monday's, but, I love my heating pad ...

These days have been very, very different from my norm.

Those first couple hours, when I felt trapped in my chair, all I could think of was the
 'Oh No's.
I'm supposed to go ....
I need to do ...
I want to ...
I have to ...
etcetera ... etcetera ... etcetera ...

OH. NO.

My mind was racing with a million little must dos.
I must.
I must ...!

But, after sitting a few hours in the quietness of my upstairs, I realized ....
I really liked the shhhhhhhhhhh.

Just shhhhhhhhhh.
It's all good.

& yep.
It really was all good.

I truly enjoyed the stopping.
The quiet.
The stillness.

I 'lost' four days but, I gained so much.
& I never thought hurting my back could bring my heart such contentment.

I'm vertical again.
YaY.
And I'm happy to be getting BACK to my busy.

Especially with the knowledge that a wonderfully quiet, unbusy, shhhhhhhhh world is just an upstairs, a chair and a heating pad away.
