What I did today
Today was not exactly the way I planned it. I was going to sleep in but by 6:31 AM I realized I had never gotten into a very deep sleep and I needed to get out of my bed so I got up and basically stayed up doing almost nothing until 11 AM when I took a 3 hour nap. I realized that after my appendectomy in May I had allowed myself to get too lazy with walking so I decided today while I was home alone I was going to walk laps in the house. I walked laps for about 13 minutes and realized that I was just too tired to keep going so I went to my room and took a nap. After my nap I walked around in the house again for another 13 ish minutes. But I’m not home alone so I kept accidentally bumping into my dad and decided ok I’m not going to get my body back to being used to walking again in just 1 day especially after being so lazy after May. So I’m gonna be looking for some interesting podcast to listen to while walking laps in the house. Probably tomorrow because tomorrow it will just be my mom and I at home so I won’t be bumping into someone while walking. Also this is the at home pre training I’m giving myself to walk full time in the house instead of relying on my wheelchair so much which is causing me a ton of back pain. I will keep documenting this process so follow me for updates on my personal training to leave my wheelchair behind.
Recovering from major surgery can be challenging, but incorporating small daily activities is crucial. Finding ways to regain strength and mobility, such as walking laps in your home, is a great start. It not only boosts physical health but also improves mental well-being. Consider listening to podcasts or audiobooks to stay entertained during these walks. This dual focus can make the process feel less daunting and provide motivation to continue. Remember to set realistic goals; progress takes time, especially after an appendectomy. As you work towards independence, documenting your journey can foster accountability and encourage others to embark on similar paths. Embrace each step, no matter how small, on the road to recovery! Don't forget to share helpful tips and experiences with the community, as shared knowledge can inspire and aid those undergoing similar challenges.
