Today was a good day overall, though I think I may have overdone it again. I did some light vacuuming in preparation for some visitors and my back is already barkin at me. I brought all the flowers (from well wishers) I had put outside because they were making me cough and sneeze, back inside. Boy did they light the place up! A friend brought a yummy meal over for dinner and hung out awhile. Just as she left and I had time to gulp down my afternoon meds, the door rang and a couple people from work came to visit. They brought a baby so it cheered me right up.
I was also able to catch up with two good friends on the phone today. It's amazing how cathartic a chat with an old friend is!
My advice to women at this stage in recovery is don't become a hermit! Accept visitors and the help they may offer! It will make the days go a little faster and a little easier. It also makes it a tad easier to accept things like the fact that your favorite tv show is playing a rerun tonight....aaaaargh!!!!
