Maybe you could think of yourself as a plant that got root shock, whatever you call it, you transplant it and it has to sit around for a while before it starts to thrive again. Maybe you were just dormant. I feel much better lately, myself. My bedroom window is oriented due east, and the sun in the morning makes a lot of light. I sit on my bed and read the newspaper, or else downstairs in the kitchen, same due east orientation but a little less light because of the oak trees, not that they have any leaves but there are so many of them that the branches filter the light a little. I think I do miss the light when it is winter, and that does make me sad and sleepy and stupid. I sure can't say I am taking fewer drugs, in fact, more of them, well, maybe not, now that I think about it. I guess I did quit taking all the Advil now that I have the Celebrex. I also upped the prednisone, though, from 10 mg to 15, and that worries me. I keep thinking I should cut back, but I am enjoying being able to walk again, so not yet. Not yet.
If you have to have your hips replaced, you ought to just go ahead and do it, you know. You haven't told us when, but if they are going to try to save the one, then you should get it over with. You'll be better by summer, for sure. Then you can go rock-climbing again. |
