Today I had my first bit of notable walking since the surgery, taking the bus as I did to the massage appointment I'd scheduled. The massage was very soothing, a nice gentle working of the muscles along my back and shoulder, in between where all the incisions are; I think I'll want another one next week, perhaps with a bit more pressure involved. I almost fell asleep on the massage table, though.

The walking about wiped me out though, even with two stops on the way home to get food to fuel me up for coming up the hill to the house. But I made it, go me!

This, of course, was necessary just to make sure that I'll be up for taking the bus downtown for tomorrow evening's ritual annual Ogling of Newfoundlanders. Very, very much looking forward to that. I've arranged for myself, [livejournal.com profile] technoshaman, [livejournal.com profile] mamishka, and [livejournal.com profile] casirafics to meet at Pike Place Brewery for dinner at 6, after which we'll be heading over to claim our seats for the show. [livejournal.com profile] sutures1 and [livejournal.com profile] kendaer may or may not be joining us! Any other local folks attending the show, if you're interested, look for us at the Brewery at 6. :)

I'm going to stop at Barnes and Noble to buy myself a little Moleskine notebook before the show. I want a small one anyway for carrying around in my backpack, but for tomorrow night's purposes specifically, I want it for taking notes on the show. Because there will be an LJ post, and I have learned that having my handheld on can distract others in the audience with the screen glare, so I don't want to do that. I'll just write out notes longhand, and a Moleskine will be a nice way to do it.

This will be one of the few good things about being under medical orders to sit the hell down during the entire show; I'll have more leisure to take notes. Hee.

I'll have to rest up a lot tonight and tomorrow morning to have as much energy as possible, I think. I've been sleeping very heavily, but almost too much, I think. [livejournal.com profile] solarbird and I may head out tomorrow morning/early afternoon so that I can get the new pants I need, but much will depend on my energy.

At least I have all the drains out now, which is nice. I made the nurse at my doctor's office go ahead and take out the last one, since it had stopped draining anything over the weekend. But I'm still due to come back in on Friday for the first of the saline injections.

All in all the week is going well, and tomorrow, there will be Alan and Séan and Bob and Kris and Murray, and that will be Good. <3
