Also, headache
Jul. 19th, 2012 04:18 pmCongratulate me, friends, for I managed to walk from Twinbrook Metro to Congressional Plaza (10 minutes), buy two discounted 6-lb bags of dry cat food and some fish food and a couple of things on sale from Fresh Market, then slowly and painfully haul the tote bags back to Twinbrook (20 minutes because I kept stopping to rest), then slowly and painfully drag everything from the Shady Grove metro onto the Lakeforest bus and then to my bus stop.
But you know what was really awesome? One of my neighbors who got off the bus offered to carry the bags for me, because he had seen me around and knew I was lame, so I did not actually have to drag everything all the way home to my townhouse, which takes 5 minutes on a good day. I would have, too. I would have forced every muscle in my body, taking baby steps, dragging those bags step by shaky step. But I am so grateful for a helpful neighbor.
So, my punishment from my body has been violent shaking, spasticity, hypertonia, severe muscle aches, stabby pains, nerve twinges, and my body's deep profound physical unwillingness to do any more walking without a cane, even around the house.
But, hey, I am really proud of myself. I could have taken the easy way out: I could have made one trip, gone home, then made the second trip; or I could have called a friend to drive me. But, you know, I really do want to prove I can do these things even though I know I will pay for it severely.
So, um, I need to stop typing now, because my arms are shaking too much and my fingers keep spasming. I'm waiting for the Soma and codeine to kick in.
But... yay?
