Over the past week or so, I was having a few hours here and there where I could sit up more, go on the computer to talk on the phone. I actually sat outside for about 15 minutes to watch my hubby and the dogs play ball.

I was beginning to go stir crazy and getting a little depressed. The only time I had been out, was to go to medical related appointments.

A friend was having a house warming party, and they lived about 5-10 minutes away. I decided that I would be able to go to at least stop by for a few minutes. Their house has all wood floors, no carpet anywhere. My husband and I sat out back for a while, even though it was pretty hot. The amount of noise inside was killing my ear. After an hour or so, I just couldn’t handle it any more, and we left. As it turned out, I probably should have stayed home. It convinced me that I still wasn’t well enough to do much more than be a couch potato.
